Kalil Claims He Didn't Read Own Government Plan During Debate in Minas Gerais

## Debate in Minas Gerais Takes a Turn as Kalil Claims He Didn't Read Own Government Plan A heated debate between candidates for the governor of Minas Gerais took a surprising turn when Alexandre Kalil, the former mayor of Belo Horizonte, claimed that he didn't read his own government plan in its entirety. The statement was made during a debate between candidates on a local TV channel. Kalil's response came after Gabriel Azevedo, a candidate from the MDB, asked him about his proposals for drivers and delivery workers. Azevedo mentioned measures from Kalil's program and asked what his proposals would be for the sector. Kalil replied, 'Gabriel, that's good that you read my program. I, personally, didn't read it. I only read the summary, because I'm dedicating myself to studying the state with great care and debating personally.' ## Kalil Denies Accusations and Defends His Record Kalil also denied accusations made by Gabriel that he had tried to restrict the activities of workers from ride-hailing apps during his time as mayor of Belo Horizonte. Kalil claimed that he had brought the issue of ride-hailing apps to the table and had a deep discussion about it. He stated that he had wanted to resolve a problem caused by the expansion of ride-hailing apps. Gabriel Azevedo took the opportunity to attack Kalil's record, stating that he had not read his own government plan. Kalil responded by saying that he had only read the summary of his plan and that he was dedicating himself to studying the state. ## Confrontation Continues Between Kalil and Gabriel The confrontation between Kalil and Gabriel continued as they discussed their behavior during the debate. Gabriel accused Kalil of not respecting teachers and criticized his use of the phrase 'tom professoral' (a phrase that can be translated to 'teacher-like' or ' professorial'). Kalil responded by saying that the phrase was not meant to be offensive and that he had two professors in his family. The debate between the candidates for the governor of Minas Gerais continues to be intense, with both sides exchanging accusations and criticisms. The outcome of the election remains uncertain, with several candidates still in the running.
