“This is very unlikely,” Luby said in an interview with the newspaper. State of San Paulo, published on Saturday 23. “A government cannot have a specific goal because that specific goal cannot be achieved. It is almost impossible. This zero target is a goal to demonstrate the government's commitment to creating a healthy and balanced economy.

Haddad said, in interviews, that he is confident of achieving this goal this year, despite the Labor Party itself not believing in it internally. Last year, there was a disagreement between him and the party's chair, Gacy Huffman, over this issue.

Moreover, the same promise was not fulfilled in 2023. In that year, the federal government recorded a deficit of more than R$230 billion.
