In an interview with Danilo Gentili's The Night Program, President Jair Bolsonaro stressed the importance of the Brazilian Pension Reform to recover the country's fiscal situation and investment capacity, saying that its approval will show to domestic and foreign investors that Brazil is "doing its homework". Asked what would happen in a scenario without reform, he pointed out that in "2022, at most, Brazil breaks down."

Bolsonaro acknowledged his government's difficulties in setting up a basis for approving the proposed change in congressional retirement rules, but he estimated that this would be outweighed by the power of persuasion. According to him, even the governors of the Northeast - who are mostly opposition - understand the necessity of the reform, "but they know that the wear is very great."

The president minimized the problems of political articulation of the government, saying that "to change paradigm takes time". Without using the term "new policy," he again rejected "take it there" by pointing out that "a minority of parliamentarians continue to try to interact with government in a way that has not worked in the past."

In the interview, Jair Bolsonaro also said that "for the first time in history" a president seeks to fulfill his campaign promises. In that sense, he reiterated his intention to extinguish the Brazilian Communication Company (EBC) and said the government's privatization secretary, Salim Mattar, "is addressing the issue."
