MICHEL TEMER

Every time there's an institutional issue like impeachment, there's concern from the outside about what will happen.

Brazil's commitment to sustainable development is a deep-rooted one. It permeates our public policies and our actions abroad.

Let's stop talking about crisis. Let's work instead.

We will battle day and night to pass social security reform.

It's necessary to give birth to hope again.

I want to regain the trust of the Brazilian people and all the sectors of society.

We disagree with the way things are going in Venezuela that has brought thousands of refugees to Roraima.

In South America, there is no more room for alternatives to democracy.

Our government is concerned about the future. Everything we do today is not aimed at tomorrow but rather at a future that preserves the living conditions of Brazilians.

I want to construct a better country for each Brazilian: pacified, just, without hate or rancor.

We are on the side of the Venezuelan people.

I've heard, 'Temer is very fragile, poor little thing; he doesn't know how to govern.' Gibberish!

Nobody is more capable of detecting eventual economic fluctuation than women, since they monitor the increases and decreases of their home's budgets.

Our inexorable destiny is to be a great nation.

Here in Brazil, the president and the vice president are elected together.

My first word for the people of Brazil is the word 'confidence.' Confidence in the values that form the character of our people, the vitality of our democracy.

I never authorized any payments for someone to be silent. I did not buy anyone's silence.

I have confidence in the responsibility of those who occupy a seat in the legislature.

Oust me if you want, but if I stepped down, I would be admitting guilt.

Impeachment is allowed under Brazil's Constitution.

Protests are part of our democracy.

I don't need to make political gestures or take steps to get re-elected.

My proposal is one of national reconciliation, of national pacification. I've already said this many times, but what I propose is a government that could act as a national salvation.

I have been denounced for passive corruption without having received anything of value. Where is the concrete proof that I received something of value?

I am aware that if I do become the president, I, too, could be processed for any political wrongdoing.
