Tebet was the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) candidate for president in the 2022 Brazilian general election, placing third with 4.16% of the vote. After supporting Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in the second round, Tebet was appointed Minister of Planning.[3][4][5][6]

The daughter of the former President of the Federal Senate Ramez Tebet, Tebet ran for President of the Senate in 2021 against Rodrigo Pacheco, who was backed by both President Jair Bolsonaro and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's Workers' Party. She led the MDB in the Federal Senate from 2018 to 2019.[7][8]

Tebet is considered a socially liberal and pro-business politician. She has ties to agribusiness and feminist groups and was supported by traditionally third way groups in her presidential campaign.[9][10]

Early life

edit

Tebet was born to governor, senator, and President of the National Congress Ramez Tebet and Fairte Nassar Tebet, a philanthropist, in 1970. She is of Lebanese descent on both her mother and father's sides.[11][12]

Education

edit

Tebet graduated in law from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and is a specialist in legal science from the Escola Superior de Magistratura, and has masters in state law from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo. She began her career as a professor in 1992, working at Dom Bosco Catholic University, Anhanguera-Uniderp University, and the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul.[13][10]

She was a legal technical consultant for the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso do Sul between 1995 and 1997 and legislative technical director between 1997 and 2001.[14][15]

Early political career

edit

Simone Tebet started her career in 2002 when she was elected as a state representative in Mato Grosso do Sul with 25,251 votes, becoming the most voted woman that year.[16]

Mayor of Três Lagoas

edit

In 2004 Tebet was elected for the first time as the first female mayor of Três Lagoas.[17]

During her first term, she maintained the strong industrialization movement of the city, initiated by her predecessor Issam Fares. In February 2006, private investments in the industrial expansion of Três Lagoas in the last sixty months totaled 1.1 billion reals.[18]

The main private investment attracted to the city was the International Paper factory , opened in 2009 and whose investment was 300 million dollars.  Between 2006 and 2009, Três Lagoas experienced a 40% growth in its industrial activity.[19]

In the 2008 municipal elections, she was reelected to the post with more than 75% of the votes.[20]

State Government

edit

On March 31, 2010, Tebet resigned from the mayor's office to join André Puccinelli's ticket in the election for the government of Mato Grosso do Sul, as a candidate for vice governor. With the ticket victorious, she became the state's first female vice-governor. Between April 2013 and January 2014, Simone headed the Government Secretariat.[17]

Simone Tebet was also director of municipal affairs at the Association of Municipalities of Mato Grosso do Sul and a member of the Representative Council for the Midwest of the National Confederation of Municipalities.[17]

Federal Senate

edit

In the 2014 parliamentary elections, Tebet ran for senator for Mato Grosso do Sul, being elected on October 5. She was sworn in as senator on February 1, 2015.[21]

Legislative positions

edit

In August 2016, she voted in favor of impeaching Dilma Rousseff.[17] In December of that same year, she voted in favor of the PEC do Teto dos Gastos Públicos.[22]

In June 2019, she voted against the government's Decree on Arms, which made it easier to carry and hold firearms.[23] In April 2018, she was chosen leader of the MDB bench in the Federal Senate, a position she held until January 2019.[24]

In July 2017, the senator voted in favor of labor reform.[25]

Indigenous lands

edit

Tebet, while Senator, defended the payment of compensation to farmers, whose land was taken for indigenous peoples.[26] She also proposed suspending the demarcation of further lands for indigenous peoples for up to four years. Both proposals were criticized by human rights organizations, who point to alleged conflicts of interest, pointing out that the Senator owns a farm in Caarapó, Mato Grosso do Sul. The municipality's recent history has been marked by violence against indigenous populations. Tebet was defended by agricultural interests and Jair Bolsonaro.[27][28][29]

Covaxin investigation

edit

Tebet spearheaded an inquiry into Covaxin fraud in the Senate.[30] She questioned the leader of a taskforce that distributed vaccines and why the contract with the Indian company was cancelled. She reportedly found 20 instances of fraud and said that the documents "should have never gone to the health ministry."[31] She also found multiple translation and formatting errors that the Chief of Staff of the Presidency Onyx Lorenzoni had seemingly ignored, along with cheaper vaccine alternatives like Pfizer and found financial error in the work of Élcio Franco, who is now under investigation by Rosa Weber, a justice of the Supreme Federal Court.[32][33] In this way, she became one of the main critics of Jair Bolsonaro's COVID-19 response.[34]

Senate politics

edit
 
Tebet in the Federal Senate in 2017

In October 2017, she voted in favor of maintaining the mandate of Senator Aécio Neves, overturning the decision of the First Panel of the Federal Supreme Court, where Neves was accused of corruption and obstruction of justice for requesting two million reais from businessman Joesley Batista.[35]

In 2019, the senator disputed the nomination of her party for the candidacy for the presidency of the Federal Senate. However, Renan Calheiros was nominated, losing the election among his party senators by 7 votes to 5. Subsequently, Simone launched a separate candidacy for the position, but ended up withdrawing to increase the chances of a victory for Davi Alcolumbre ( then DEM, now UNIÃO ) over Renan Calheiros, which eventually occurred.[36][37]

In 2019, she become the first woman to preside over the Constitution, Justice and Citizenship Commission. It is considered the most important one in the Senate.[17][38]

Senate presidency

edit

In the elections for the presidency of the Federal Senate of Brazil in 2017, Simone was a pre-candidate for president of the house. However, her party nominated Senator Eunício Oliveira to run for that position.[17]

In January 2021, she was nominated by her party to run for the Senate Presidency. However, the MDB, the party to which Tebet is affiliated, withdrew from the senator's launch to run for office, after signaling the opposing candidate, Rodrigo Pacheco. In this way, Tebet's candidacy became independent. On February 1, 2021, Rodrigo Pacheco was elected president of the Senate, with votes from 57 senators, Tebet obtained 21 votes, placing herself in second place.[17][39]

Other elections

edit

In the 2018 elections, after the arrest of the then candidate for the state government and governor, André Puccinelli, Simone was nominated for governor, however, she later withdrew from the race due to family issues.[40]

Announcement

edit

Tebet presented herself as a candidate for the Presidency in the 2022 elections, standing on a Third Way platform. Her candidacy was seen as a non-controversial replacement to the failed pre-candidacies of João Doria, Eduardo Leite, and Sergio Moro, being supported by their former aides.[10]

Supporters

edit

In February, she announced economist Elena Landau as the campaign economic coordinator. Landau is known for her work in former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso's administration and for being part of LIVRES, a social liberal movement.[41]

The Brazilian Democratic Movement, in a virtual convention, officialized on 27 July 2022 the candidacy of Tebet for President but the party was still split, as part of some leaderships endorsed Lula, but Tebet's candidacy has the support of the party's national president Baleia Rossi. After talks of some MDB factions with Lula, the party published a note signed by member of 19 states endorsing senator Tebet.[42][43]

Parties
edit

The party formed a coalition with PSDB and Cidadania, nominating Mara Gabrilli, PSDB, a quadriplegic senator from São Paulo as vice president. Podemos also joined the coalition, after Sergio Moro left the party, abandoning his precandidacy, to run for senate in Paraná with the Brazil Union.[44]

It is the first presidential election since 1994 that the PSDB has not nominated their own candidate.[45]

Platform

edit

Simone Tebet presented her government plan on August 15, the last day for candidates to register their candidacy with the Electoral Justice. The document has 48 pages, where the presidential candidate proposes a permanent minimum income program, tax and administrative reforms and zero tolerance for illegal deforestation.[46]

Her platform has been connected to what many view as issues more important to women such as the environment and education, and with this push, Tebet has portrayed herself as the candidate for women disaffected by Bolsonaro.[47]

Results

edit

Before the election, pundits expected Tebet to at most reach 6%. On October 2, 2022, Tebet failed to reach the run-off, garnering just 4.16% of the vote. She gained greater percentages in the North, South, and Southeast, especially in São Paulo, but faltered in the Northeast. However she passed Ciro Gomes to become the third place candidate and a kingmaker in the second round.[48][49]

Endorsement of Lula

edit

Tebet met with Geraldo Alckmin, Lula's running mate, on October 4, presenting her governmental plan to his and Lula's campaign. While the Brazilian Democratic Movement released its members, with Governor Ibaneis Rocha of the Federal District endorsing Bolsonaro in the second round, citing the concern for democracy, Tebet endorsed Lula.[50]

Other members of her coalition like Cidadania endorsed Lula while the PSDB and Podemos remaining neutral. Of the former presidents and presidential candidates that supported her candidacy, Fernando Henrique Cardoso and José Serra, both former supporters of Lula supported his candidacy, while Michel Temer supported Bolsonaro.

She also spoke against gun violence in South America on an Instagram post in her profile and how Lula can get rid of it by disarming the population from gun ownership and make streets of Brazil safer, and overturning right-wing gun policies. However, with all her support and the reward of a ministry in the Lula government, many suggest that she is building a platform for a more successful run in 2026, representing a disaffected center.[51][50]

Minister of Planning and Budget

edit

Tebet was announced as Minister of Planning on December 27, 2022, after André Lara Resende, a member of the transition team, rejected the position. "Investors had expected a market-friendly person to get the position, but markets will welcome Tebet," said analyst Lucas de Aragao of Arko Advice consultancy in Brasilia.[52]

The position also grants Tebet the position of Ex-Officio Alternate Member of the Board of Governors of the World Bank.[53]

Choice of Ministry

edit
 
Tebet at her inauguration ceremony with Rui Costa, José Sarney, and Geraldo Alckmin

After the 2022 election, it was widely considered that Tebet would be given a ministry, especially since she had not run for reelection in the Senate. Tebet's support for Lula, especially as a moderate candidate was seen as crucial to his victory in the narrowest Brazilian presidential election in history, where she won 4.9 million votes and the election was decided by 2.1 million.[54]

It was reported that Tebet desired the Ministry of Social Development, which would have allowed a large public profile to control the allocation of the Bolsa Família/Auxílio Brasil program. This appointment was quashed by the Workers' Party who worried about both Tebet's "independence" and the possibility of a future presidencial candidacy. Wellington Dias, the former Governor of Maranhão, was chosen for the position.[55]

The Workers' Party wanted to give Tebet the Ministry of the Environment, but she wanted to give the ministry to her personal friend Marina Silva.[56]

Eventually after considering the position of Minister of Cities and of Agriculture, Lula decided to give her the Ministry of Planning and Budget, just before his inauguration on January 1.[57]

Institutes

edit

The two foundations under the preview of the Ministry of Planning and Budget are the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA).

IPEA

edit

IPEA conducts economic research and studies.

Tebet appointed Dr. Luciana Mendes Santos Servo to head the IPEA. The IPEA carries out social and economic studies for the government as a whole. Dr. Sevro is the first black woman to head the foundation.

IGBE

edit

IGBE conducts censuses and creates records of governmental and population statistics.[58]

Leadership
edit

Tebet also removed the head of IBGE from the Bolsonaro government, keeping Cimar Azeredo Pereira as head of the institute in an interim capacity. The previous head of IBGE Eduardo Luiz Gonçalves Rios Neto had not completed the 2022 census by the end of 2022.[59][60]

The IBGE carried out a survey of indigenous lands during Tebet's tenure, after the recognition of the Yanomami humanitarian crisis caused by illegal logging and mining. The Bolsonaro and Temer governments had halted these surveys. The 2023 survey found only 53% of the Yanomami population had been recorded in the census fue to a lack of funding and remotness, leading to a further lack of access to government services. IBGE was applauded for locating 26,000 additional Yanomami in its survey.[61]

Nomination of Marcio Pochmann
edit

On August 8, 2023 President Lula appointed Marcio Pochmann, the former president of IPEA from 2007-2012 and president of the PT think tank the Perseu Abramo Foundation from 2012 to 2020, as President of IBGE.[62]

 
Tebet and Pochmann at his inauguration in 2023

Controversies emerged between Tebet and Lula over the nomination, as Tebet was not consulted. Tebet said in a statement that "Minister Pimenta, not knowing that in the meeting we had with the president we had not mentioned the name, announced it preliminarily. And it has already been placed. The name will be made official at the right time, after the conversation we will have next week with President Lula. We will accept any name that comes."[63]

Pochmann is considered to hold heterodox economic theories. The Buenos Aires Times reported that Pochmann’s leftist economic views are considered "too extreme even by members of Lula’s economic team, who worry about damage to IBGE’s credibility...after Pochmann’s years at IPEA, [which] were controversial and caused several economists who did not agree with him to leave the organisation."[64]

Fiscal policy in government

edit

Tebet, along with the Minister of Finance Fernando Haddad, have taken a more pro-business stance than the rest of the Lula cabinet. Tebet has argued for reducing tax waivers and increasing female empowerment initiatives, arguing on a level playing field, equality increases economic prosperity.[65]

Forbes Brasil reports that stock market and business leaders have shown support for Tebet's policies, which argue "economic stability depends on institutional stability."[66][67]

Central Bank

edit

Roberto Campos Neto, the President of the Central Bank of Brazil appointed by Jair Bolsonaro, was criticized by various allies of the Lula government for not lowering interest rates. The PT bench in the Chamber of Deputies argued that inflation was low enough to increase access to loans. Gleisi Hoffmann, the PT president, said that the interest rate highs advantages the wealthy and disadvantaged the poor.

Campos Neto was defended by the Fazenda, a bloc of ministers that includes Tebet and other economic officials. This bloc includes Minister of Finance Fernando Haddad, Vice-President and Minister of Industry Geraldo Alckmin, and Minister of Management Esther Dweck.[68]

Tebet took a neutral stance in a debate session of the Federal Senate, saying that "there is no contradiction in saying [interest rates should decrease]: the Central Bank is autonomous, and it is good that it is [...] And therefore, the government does not interfere in the technical decisions of the Central Bank. But the Central Bank cannot consider that its decisions are only techniques. They also interfere in politics, especially its communiqués and minutes." Tebet argued that tax reform could bring the budget deficit to zero, increasing GDP which would "guarantee Brazil's sustainable and lasting growth."[69]

Budget

edit

Tebet's office oversees budget proposals with input from the Ministry of Finance.

2024
edit

Tebet supported the policy of Fernando Haddad in maintaining a zero deficit to raise confidence in market for the governments other spending. This was a policy that President Lula viewed as unattainable, while Haddad encouraged increased taxation to meet the deficit.[70][71]

Tebet promised that these cuts to create a zero defict would not cut into environmental initiaves, offering emergency credits as a form of disaster spending to make up revenue to Marina Silva.[72]

Tebet proposed a budget that required 168 billion reals in additional revenue.[73]

2025
edit

In the 2025 budget, Tebet entered into conflict with Haddad over maintaining a zero deficit goal. The Ministry of Finance had calculated a 0.5% surplus which would allow more spending but an independent review found a zero deficit, an observed win for Tebet's policy of fiscal responsibility over Haddad's observed market appeasement. Tebet's prioritization of a cohesive economic view was supported by experts.[74][75]

Political positions

edit

Tebet has been described as a centre-right and centrist politician by the Brazilian media. During her presidential campaign, she said that she represents the "democratic center" and the "Third Way."[9]

Women's rights

edit

When Tebet assumed the leadership of the feminine caucus, she said that a "feminine perspective" is necessary for policy making in areas such as healthcare, education and public transportation.[76]

In regards to women's policy, Tebet supports gender quotas for the Congress, saying that 50% is the ideal for all legislative bodies. In 2022, Tebet also pledged to have a gender balanced cabinet. Tebet opposes the legalization of abortion, but said that it should not be a political taboo.[77] As leader of the feminine caucus, she voted against criminalizing abortion in cases of rape.[10]

Feminism

edit

Tebet considers herself to be a feminist, saying that women's rights should not be a left-wing theme. She has lamented the classification of feminism as a leftist movement, saying in the SBT debate to Padre Kelmon, a priest and candidate of the PTB, that:[78][79]

My concept of a feminist is very different from yours. For me, being a feminist is defending women's rights. I am Catholic and I regret your selective view. I'm against abortion, and that doesn't make me any less of a feminist. Feminism in Brazil should be understood not as a leftist agenda, but as a Christian one.

She has been criticised by some on the left for using feminism as a "prop" without supporting true feminist causes like secularism and free access to abortion while others on the right have said that her purported Christianity is a mask for a more radical feminism. She has maintained her position to be one of Christian feminism.[80][81]

Experts say that feminism has various currents and movements and Tebet represents a moderate but not anti-feminist position. However some have said that given some of her more conservative policy proposals she is no more feminist than many of the other candidates.[82]

Land policy

edit

While largely socially liberal, Tebet's policies have come into conflict with environmental regulation in the past.[47]

Agricultural policy

edit

Given Mato Grosso do Sul's deep involvement with Brazil's agricultural economy, Tebet has frequently been an activist for agribusiness. Her policies have been described as a balance between environmental policies and pro-agriculture policies. In a visit to Montes Claros, she said that "All regions have conditions to be fertile, to produce, to generate employment and income, the north of Minas is no different. What is lacking is the political will to definitively bring a large irrigation project so that the region can produce the fruits and export, generate employment and income, finishing the dams and guaranteeing dignity for its people."[83]

Tebet has advocated for further irrigation into northern regions of Mato Grosso do Sul, where continued runoff is polluting the Amazon, and said "food needs to arrive faster and cheaper". Tebet also advocated for reduced protections for indigenous land, arguing such regulation infringe on farmers' right to farm.[29][83]

Environmental policy

edit

During her campaign for president Tebet has become a more frequent advocate for climate protections and controls. During the Globo debate she said to Bolsonaro that "Your administration is the one that made biomes, forests and my Pantanal wetlands burn. Your administration cared for miners and loggers, and protected them. You, in this regard, were the worst president in Brazil’s history."[81][10]

She has said that she wants a "zero tolerance policy" for illegal deforestation and advocated for increases in funding in Brazil's Northeast to produce solar and wind power on unused coasts and plains. Along with these investments, she said she planned to offer carbon credits and regulate fisheries to create a more sustainable system.[47][81]

Her policies have been criticized for emphasizing investment rather than protection, while protecting harmful farms. She has disputed these claims, connecting deforestation to drought in Brazil's agricultural states.[10][83]

Tebet is a friend of prominent environmentalist Marina Silva.[56]

Personal life

edit

Tebet is married to Eduardo Rocha, a state deputy and secretary of the Civil House of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the government of Eduardo Riedel, with whom she has two daughters, Maria Eduarda and Maria Fernanda.[24]

Tebet is Catholic.[78]
