City's Book Suzano 2021-22

INTERVIEW
As the most voted mayor in Suzano’s
history. What society can expect your second term?
The Suzano population can expect even more work,
for sure. Unfortunately, there are many cases of declining
performance during the second term. It must be stressed
that this is different. On the contrary, in Suzano, we
continue with the mission of reconstructing the city
with even more energy than in the first term. The
municipality was abandoned for years, it won’t be in
four or eight years that everything will become perfect,
but it will be a much better city than the one we found
in 2017, of that there is no doubt. We are working day
and night to obtain the best result in all sectors. The
objective is to continue the work and generate more
and more opportunities for growth and advances for the
municipality.
With the arrival of the vaccine
against Covid-19 in the year 2021, considered the
prospect that everything will return to normal
this year. Knowing what are your expectations for
the development of the city in the post-pandemic
context?
The expectations are the best possible, of course,
working with everything that is within our reach. I
believe that at this moment, it is necessary to have a
realistic view of the current scenario. We care for the
life and well-being of the population, so we go to great
lengths to ensure everything possible to combat Covid-19
to resume our routines as soon as possible. We know
that nothing will be as before. Today, the focus is to
immunize the population and offer care to all who need
it, in addition to mitigating the direct impacts caused
by the pandemic, as in the social and economic issue.
In this second term, what will be
the priority sectors in receiving investment?
We have already started this mandate in the context of
a pandemic, which is on a rising wave. Therefore, Health
has been the main focus, as always. But it is necessary
to point out some other areas, such as Education, Social
Assistance, and Security. I believe that these are the priority
pillars for us to be successful in management because they
are directly linked to those who need it most. In addition
to investing in budgetary issues, I see investment from a
management point of view, with strategic projects and
actions aimed at improving these sectors’ performance and
performance, thus guaranteeing more quality of service
and positively impacting the lives of the population.

In your view, what are the main
differentials that Suzano offers to potential
investors?
Suzano has a diverse economy and is constantly
growing, and the numbers show that. We are
strategically located in Greater São Paulo, with easy
access to Guarulhos International Airport, the coast of
São Paulo, and other important regions, such as ABC
Paulista and Vale do Paraíba, being cut by important
routes of the State.
Through the Municipal Secretariat for Economic
Development and Employment Generation, we also
offer a series of projects and actions to promote commerce
and business in the city. Not to mention the qualified
workforce, with higher education institutions in the
city, which even has a unit from the Federal Institute of
Education, Science and Technology.
Is there any other point you would
like to highlight?
We are always betting on the population of Suzano.
Our people are welcoming, supportive, and hardworking.
For this reason, we are always seeking to offer free training
opportunities to residents, either through the Social
Action and Special Projects Service (Saspe) or through
specific actions developed by the municipal departments.
Our goal is to make everyone grow, develop and have the
opportunity to contribute to a better society. Everything
we do, from plugging holes to building a hospital, is
thinking of the best for the Suzano’s community.
