On the day he rose to the presidential post, Temer made a statement on national television stating that from then on, the main objectives of the federal government would be:
- Social Security Reform;
- Ensure political security;
- Limit public spending;
- Ensure political stability.
The first measure taken by Michel Temer's government was to freeze public investments for twenty years through the approval of the Constitutional Amendment Proposal 241 (PEC 241). Therefore, the readjustments would follow the inflation.
As a result, public investments financed by the federal government will remain the same until 2036. Such action was justified by the then Minister of Finance, Henrique Meirelles, who stated that this measure would restore the confidence of the foreign market in investing in the country.
Sectors that according to 1988 Constitution, should have investments obtained from the percentages of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), such as education and the health, will suffer a freeze on public resources until 2036.
This means that both education and health will suffer cuts that will impact the full achievement of the goals established by the National Education Plan (PNE) and the good performance of the Unified Health System (SUS), in addition to negatively impacting the salary Minimum.
Another measure adopted during the Temer government was the approval of the Labor Reform, in 2017. Among other points, she established the:
- Allowing lactating and pregnant women to work in places with low and medium unhealthy conditions;
- Non-mandatory union contribution;
- Working hours must be less than 220 hours per month;
- Establishment of collective agreements between employees and bosses.
This reform exempted the employer from guaranteeing the employee's stability and safety in the workplace.
Protests against the Labor Reform and Social Security Reform were held, however, such mobilizations did not prevent the first from being approved at that time.
In early 2018, the federal government announced federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro, under the justification of fighting organized crime and ensuring social stability.
