Você hoje vai discutir autocrítica, se algo poderia ser melhorado? Ainda que tenha sido feito dentro da lei? Não faz sentido nenhum, enquanto tudo está sendo desfeito, anulado e a gente vê os donos do poder continuar nos roubando e praticando arbítrios ao longo de décadas

Portal translation: Are you going to discuss self-criticism today, whether anything could be improved? Even if it was done within the law? It makes no sense at all, while everything is being undone, annulled and we see the owners of power continue to rob us and commit arbitrary acts over decades
