This Wednesday (12), Lucas Abrahao from Amap\u00e1, Alumni RenovaBR, officially took office as a federal deputy for Amap\u00e1, replacing Paulo Lemos from PSOL. Bringing his experience in the political career to the National Congress, the parliamentarian will remain in the post until April of next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His commitment to defending citizen participation began early, in the corridors of the university. He recounts being at the forefront of the student movement, as president of the class. Later came the Academic Center for International Relations, where he was general coordinator, and the Central Directorate of Students at the Federal University of Amap\u00e1 (UNIFAP), spaces that consolidated his commitment to dialogue and collective representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2014, while still a student, he decided to take a step forward and run for his first election to the Chamber of Deputies. \u201cThe university youth began to understand that they needed a federal deputy to speak on behalf of UNIFAP. That's when my first campaign was born, with the slogan...\u201d 'There will be a student in Bras\u00edlia'<\/em>\u201c...,\u201d he recalls. Since then, there have been three elections, two alternate positions, and a career marked by persistence and public service, which included stints in the Secretariats of Economic Development and Social Assistance of the Municipality of Macap\u00e1, International Relations of the State of Amap\u00e1, Planning, and as Chief of Staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The RenovaBR alumnus arrives at the Chamber of Deputies with the mission of representing the people and the State of Amap\u00e1 in a balanced and strategic way. \u201cMy experience as a social activist will help me understand what the people need, and my experience as a manager in municipal and state secretariats will guide me in defending the interests of the federative entity I represent,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He emphasizes that his work in Congress will be guided by a vision of sustainable development capable of uniting environmental protection and economic opportunities. \u201cAmap\u00e1 is the most preserved and protected state in Brazil. This is a contribution we make to the planet,\u201d he points out. According to a survey by MapBiomas, the state has 95% of intact native vegetation, ranking among the leaders in preservation. For the parliamentarian, this vocation needs to be accompanied by policies that guarantee quality of life for the local population. \u201cTrue sustainable development is when there is preservation and, at the same time, employment and food on the table. The equation only works that way,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In advocating for the strengthening of the bioeconomy through production chains, such as those for a\u00e7a\u00ed, fish, Brazil nuts, and other products, the congressman believes it is possible to create space for innovation and income. "The best way to keep a forest standing is to provide conditions for its people to live with dignity," he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among his priority issues, he mentions a commitment to education, entrepreneurship, and valuing public service. "I have a history of working in education and I will strongly defend public servants and entrepreneurship, especially community-based and youth-oriented entrepreneurship," he states. He also emphasizes the importance of preparing the population for the new opportunities generated by the state's advancements. "The oil industry is establishing itself in Amap\u00e1, and I want the best jobs to go to the people of Amap\u00e1. For that, we need a strong and structured training program," he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legislator also intends to use his time in office to highlight the progress that Amap\u00e1 has achieved. "It's a lightning-fast term, because it's scheduled to end in April, but it's also lightning-fast in terms of energy and vitality," he says. Among the achievements he wants to bring to the plenary are the positive results in public safety and innovative sustainable development policies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Wednesday (12), Lucas Abrahao, from Amap\u00e1 and a RenovaBR Alumni, officially took office as a federal deputy for Amap\u00e1, replacing Paulo Lemos from PSOL.
