Careful

For Ramos, it is necessary to be careful when looking at the elections and that, at the moment, he does not want to spend energy on the subject. “I don’t allow myself, at this moment, to spend energy on election. Those who are spending energy now are not realizing the party they have outside politics”, said the parliamentarian.

There are more than 600,000 dead, 15 million unemployed, 20 million hungry, inflation, high interest rates. This is what I want to spend my energy on, to serve the country and to serve Amazonas. And the election will be dealt with at the right time, because this is not objectively a priority at this moment. I want to take care of the people”, he concluded.
