Mayor
Dr. Francisco Tadao Nakano
Exclusive Interview
“
We intend to bring large projects, and
we will spare no efforts to support the
entrepreneur who wants to bring jobs and
do excellent business in our region.
”
Mayor Nakano, how did your professional trajectory
lead you to the mayor of Itapecerica da Serra?
I have been a doctor for over thirty years. I work in Itapecerica da Serra
and the region. My mission has always been to save lives and take care of
people, which naturally projected me into public life—serving people and
treating them with dignity. I exercised and continue to exercise my role,
and I believe this made me the hope of improvements for the people of
Itapecerica.
What are the main goals and
strategies for this term?
Our government plan aims to structure health for the
simple fact that I am a doctor and see the population’s
needs up close. Perhaps this is the main reason that
brought me to the position I occupy today. However,
we have several other problems that need special care:
education, safety, tourism, sport, leisure, and culture,
among others.
Unfortunately, the pandemic caused our plans to be
postponed. As a result, we got a beginning of term full
of difficulties and past debts. Nevertheless, with few
resources, we did a lot in this first semester.
For the rest of the year, we aim to immunize the
population against Covid-19, return 100% to
classroom classes in schools, promote jobs, and boost
commerce in the city.
If we reach these essential goals, it will be a big step
forward.
The city has favorable indexes
in education. Could you briefly explain to us
how the municipal administration handles and
works with this issue?
This department’s head is one of the best educators
in Greater São Paulo, professor Márcio Carvalho. He
has developed, with his team, devices to encourage
distance studies, making the most of the technological
resources according to the possibilities of the students.
He has autonomy within the portfolio to carry out
his work without interference and has shown himself
to face the challenges brought by the pandemic. He
was concerned with the children’s Food Card, even
without attending classes, showing that he was
attentive to social issues relevant to the students. I
am sure that we will reach ever-higher rates in the
Education area in Itapecerica da Serra, returning to
normality.
