HOMENAGEM AO PRESIDENTE ITAMAR FRANCO

O Engenheiro Itamar Augusto Cautiero Franco assumiu a Presidência da República, em caráter provisório, em 1 ° de outubro de 1992, a posse definitiva deu-se quase três meses depois, em 29 de dezembro. O Brasil atravessava uma das mais graves crises políticas do período republicano. O cenário econômico e social tampouco era animador- recessão prolongada, inflação aguda e crônica. A auto-estima dos brasileiros estava em um de seus pontos mais baixos e a confiança nas instituições seriamente abalada.

Dois anos depois, ao preparar-se para transmitir o cargo, Itamar Franco deixa um país muito diferente. As contas públicas se aproximaram do equilíbrio. Chegou a bom termo a negociação da dívida externa. A inflação foi drasticamente reduzida. Aumentou o poder aquisitivo da moeda nacional. A economia foi relançada. O povo volta a acreditar no país e cresce o respeito pelas instituições.

Itamar Franco deixa um traço inconfundível, sua marca pessoal na vida pública brasileira, marca na qual é possível distinguir três componentes principais. Em primeiro lugar, a honradez pessoal, a probidade e o extremo sentido de responsabilidade no trato da coisa pública, a traduzir seu respeito pela esperança do povo. Em segundo, a simplicidade pessoal, a recusa da promoção e do "marketing" político, como que a indicar um desejo de pedagogicamente desmistificar a figura do governante. Finalmente—e mais sutil—, a habilidade na costura política, a capacidade de administrar crises, a pertinácia na construção das condições que ensejam ao brasileiro reecontrar-se com seus melhores sentimentos.

Filho de Augusto César Stiebler Franco e Itália Cautiero Franco, Itamar Franco nasceu em 28 de junho de 1930, a bordo de um "Ita" do Lloyd, quando Da Itália viajava de Salvador para o Rio de Janeiro. Órfão de pai já ao nascer, aprendeu com a mãe o valor do trabalho e da perseverança. Cresceu e construiu sua vida pública em Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Ali elegeu-se prefeito em 1966 e 1972. Projetou-se no cenário nacional ao eleger-se senador por Minas Gerais em 1974, mandato renovado em 1982.

HOMENAGE TO PRESIDENT ITAMAR FRANCO

The engineer Itamar Augusto Cautiero Franco came to the Presidency of Republic, provisionally, on October 1992, the definitive inauguration happened almost three months later on December 29. Brazil was crossing one of the most serious political crisis of the republican period. The social and economic scene was not encouraging either: long! period of recession, acute and chronic inflation. Brazilian self-esteem was on the lowest level, and trust in the institutions was seriously shaked.

Two years later, when he is preparing to transfer the government Itamar hands over to his successor a ver different country. Public accounts have come near to equilibrium. The external debt negotiations have achieve a good level. Inflation has been drastically reduced. The value of the country's currency grew along the purchasing power of its inhabitants. Economy was relaunched. Now people believe again in the country and the institutions hav earned great respect.

Itamar Franco leaves an undeniable particular trace, hi personal mark in the Brazilian public life which reveals three main components. In first place, his personal honor, hi probity and his extreme sense of responsibility in dealing with public concerning which translates his respect int peoples' hope. Second, his personal simplicity, his refusal to do political promotion and marketing which shows hi wish to pedagogicaly dismystify the figure of the president At last—and the subtlest—his skill of "mending" political affairs, the capacity of administering crisis, his cleverness in constructing conditions which allow the Brazilian people to meet their best feelings.

Son of Augusto Cesar Stiebler Franco and Itália Cautier Franco, Itamar was born on June 28, 1930, aboard of an "Ita" ship from Lloyd, when Mrs. Itália was traveling from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro. Already orphan of father when he was born, he learned from her mother the value of wor and perseverance. He grew up and constructed his public life in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. There he was elected mayor in 1966 and 1972. He distinguished himself within the national scene when he was elected senator for Minas Gerais in 1974, and re-elected in 1982.
