Saiba como foi o dia do candidato Saulo Arcangeli ao governo do Maranhão O candidato Saulo Arcangeli, do Partido Socialista dos Trabalhadores Unificado (PSTU), fez panfletagem na porta da sede do Instituto Federal do Maranhão (IFMA), no bairro Monte Castelo, em São Luís, nesta quarta-feira (23). 📲 Clique aqui e se inscreva no canal do g1 Maranhão no WhatsApp Acompanhado de apoiadores, ele apresentou propostas para o desenvolvimento do estado a estudantes da instituição. Durante a agenda, Arcangeli criticou o modelo de desenvolvimento econômico adotado no Maranhão nas últimas décadas. Segundo ele, grandes empreendimentos e o agronegócio voltado à exportação não têm sido suficientes para gerar empregos e distribuir renda. Entre as propostas apresentadas pelo candidato estão a realização de obras públicas, a abertura de concursos e o incentivo à agricultura familiar e a pequenas e médias empresas. "Há 15 anos, a gente tem modelo de desenvolvimento econômico no Maranhão, baseado em grandes empreendimentos que vêm para cá e no agronegócio, principalmente o agronegócio exportador. Isso não gera trabalho. A gente tem a menor renda per capita do país e também uma degradação da natureza. Então a gente vai gerar trabalho e renda com plano de obras públicas. Também vamos fazer concurso público. Vamos investir na agricultura familiar, em pequenas e médias empresas, desenvolver agroindústrias, principalmente cadeias produtivas da pesca, cadeias produtivas de outras culturas", afirma o candidato. Arcangeli também defendeu a participação popular na definição das políticas públicas. "Para a gente conseguir distribuir essa renda, não adianta o Maranhão crescer e a renda não ser distribuída para a população. Isso tudo através dos conselhos populares e com o controle social da população", afirma o candidato.
