Presidential candidate Augusto Cury (Avante) stated that, if elected, he intends to donate his salary as president of the Republic monthly to schools and micro-enterprises. The current salary of the head of the Executive, defined by law, is R$ 46,366.19. "I don't depend on power, I don't depend on the salary of power. It will be donated to two schools, two micro-enterprises every month," the candidate stated during the interview.
The promise was made during participation in the podcast "Com a palavra, candidato," from Genial Investimentos. The program aired on the investment platform's YouTube channel this Monday. The writer and psychologist was invited by the podcast to present his proposals if he wins the elections.
Augusto Cury declared assets of approximately R$ 240 million to the Electoral Court. The candidate stated that his entry into politics was not motivated by the interest in making a career or holding public office, but rather by other reasons that were not specified in the article.
