Daniella Marques, member of the economic team of Flávio Bolsonaro's government plan, during an interview with GloboNews' Radar program, this Monday (3) Reproduction/GloboNews Flávio Bolsonaro's (PL) assistant for the economic area, Daniella Marques said this Monday (3) that the PL candidate's plan for president envisages cutting spending equivalent to 1.5% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), reviewing the fiscal framework and streamline the government structure. “Brazil needs, before any cuts, to regain credibility,” said Daniella in an interview with Radar GloboNews. According to Daniella, the plan has four stages: creating a Superior Fiscal Governance Council; review the framework to control the trajectory of debt in relation to GDP; promote the 1.5% cut; and carry out a “management shock”, with reduction and modernization of the administrative structure. Asked about how she intends to achieve the cut, Daniella cited the securitization of active debt, the creation of a real estate fund with Union properties, the anticipation of royalties, the review of dependent state-owned companies and the expansion of concessions and public-private partnerships.

Daniella estimated that securitization, which makes it possible to anticipate the receipt of debts owed to the government, could generate between R$200 billion and R$400 billion. She also defended the economic exploitation of part of the more than 700 thousand properties that, according to her, belong to the Union. “We are going to create a real estate fund to be able to monetize part of these assets”, she said. “Finally, [we] will strengthen legal security and shorten paths with a broad program of concessions and public-private partnerships.” When defending the review of state-owned companies, Daniella cited Correios, which ended 2025 with a loss of R$8.5 billion, according to a balance sheet released by the company. She, however, did not detail how much each measure would contribute to the 1.5% cut in GDP nor which permanent expenses would be reduced. Daniella is tipped to be vice-president on Flávio Bolsonaro's ticket. When asked about the matter, she said it was "an honor to have her name remembered". The candidate has not yet defined who will be his vice president.
