The Parliamentary Front of Agriculture (FPA), during a meeting on Tuesday (11), elected the composition of the new board that takes office next year. The current vice president, federal deputy Alceu Moreira (MDB-RS) was elected to command the collegiate from the transmission of the post, scheduled for February 19, 2019.
For him, the main challenge is to demystify fictional conflicts involving the Brazilian agricultural sector. Moreira also stated that the producer should be treated with respect, since it is he who feeds and supplies the country and the world. “Brazilian agriculture has never been against the environment, against the Indians. The guidelines are complementary and not antagonistic. We must escape these conflicts and find solutions through sound public policies that give security to all, “said the new president of the FPA.
The meeting was the last presided over by Congresswoman Tereza Cristina (DEM / MS). At the occasion, the MP thanked and congratulated the members for the work she had done throughout her mandate. She reiterated that the commitment to the development of the country and agriculture is daily.
“The FPA achieved a unique role to build public policies increasingly strengthened and converged with the aspirations of Brazilian society and agriculture. I close a stage in my parliamentary life and start another challenge. We have to fight for a better Brazil, “defended the president.
Tereza Cristina also said that her management at the helm of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MPLS) will be more modern, more agile and consistent with the changes that the country needs to grow even more. “Our dialogue with the productive sector, the farmers and the FPA will be daily and direct,” said the future minister.
Present at the meeting, Deputy João Campos (PRB / GO), candidate for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, reiterated that both the FPA and the MPLS are well represented. Campos reinforced her security with the management of Tereza Cristina at the head of Agriculture for the exemplary performance of the parliamentarian. The deputy stressed the need to strengthen public security in the country, especially in rural areas.
Campos also said that he feels prepared to preside over the House and said he is open to dialogue, with ideas based on responsibility towards society. “I finished my fourth term now. This gave me space to consolidate a good relationship with parliamentarians, “said the deputy.
Aligned management
Several FPA members have expressed unreserved support for the new management of the Ministry of Agriculture and the new board of directors of the board. According to Deputy Júlio César (PSD / PI), the FPA gave the dimension to society of what the productive sector represents for Brazil. In addition, Deputy Nelson Marquezelli (PTB / SP) stated that the Front works in favor not only of agriculture, but of the country.
According to the deputy Domingos Sávio (PSDB / MG), the moment is of change. “We are not a corporatist segment. We are patriots. We want to see the country work. I will be a soldier of this spirit of change, “said Sávio.
He said he was confident in the work to be carried out by the future Minister of Agriculture. “Tereza Cristina, besides representing thousands of rural producers, has already begun to play the role of making the millions of Brazilians understand the work that the FPA and the agriculture and livestock offers to the country,” said the deputy.
The joint responsibility of all FPA parliamentarians, given this scenario of renewal, was recalled by Congressman Arnaldo Jardim (PPS / SP). In his speech, Deputy Afonso Hamm (PP / RS) said that Congresswoman Tereza Cristina was the first chosen and indicated by the agricultural sector. “The segment of livestock and agriculture begins to have a higher appreciation and this only depends on our work. Favorable environment we already have, “he said.
Author of the bill (PL 6717/2016) that guarantees the rural carrying of the weapon, the deputy also defended that the safety in the field continues being one of the main guidelines of the FPA in 2019. “We have a final text agreed in the House. We advance in the discussions. We can end the fragility of the field in the matter of public security, “he said.
Renovation
In a farewell to legislative activities, Representative Josué Bengtson (PTB / PA) emphasized that the new parliamentarians will continue the consolidated work over the years. “We will have a new face, a new vision in the FPA and the MPLS, which will now take care of family farming with the zeal it deserves. Tereza Cristina will play this role brilliantly, “said Bengtson.
In retrospect to the work carried out in the FPA and in the Chamber, Deputy Valdir Colatto (MDB / SC) stated that the land issue and the environmental issue should be the priorities of the new government and the legislative agenda. “The country needs to follow the policy of territorial occupation that it aims to have. And it needs to be in line with the country’s development and environmental preservation. Today, Brazil is stuck. This needs to change, “Colatto reiterated.
Representing the State of Mato Grosso, Deputy Victório Galli (PSL) stressed that the new elected representatives will continue to strengthen Mato Grosso’s benchmarks. “I take leave of the legislative activity leaving a legacy. I was present at almost every FPA meeting in 2018 and I voted in all agricultural projects because I believe in the strength of the sector to leverage and improve our country. Without the production of Mato Grosso, Brazil would be bankrupt, “Galli said.
