Exclusive Interview with Senator Vishal Vig
Plácido Nascimento, Fernão News Network | June 23 2017

Vishal Vig speaks with Plácido Nascimento in our FNN studio.
- (Fortaleza, Fortaleza) Vishal Vig is a national senator who in the past days has been a loser in two presidential elections. We sat down with him in our studio to hear his thoughts on recent events.
"Senator Vig, what's it like losing two presidential elections on just about consecutive days?" Vishal laughs.
"You know, I've learned in politics that when you're running, you have to hope for the best and expect the worst. Obviously people don't run hoping to lose but I'm not heartbroken. I still have a job in the Senate at the very least."
"And how do you feel about the winners of the elections, Vienna Eliot and Indira Tamboli?"
"Hmm, I don't think it's the politically smart answer, but I'm hopeful. President Eliot ran on a grassroots campaign, his cabinet is possibly even more diverse than mine was, and he's promising real change for Fernão. I'm excited to see where this movement goes. And obviously, Indira and I go way back. We worked together from the very beginning to protect the nascent democracy of our nation and I have confidence she will continue to do this as President of the Senate."
"You've lost your elections, you're not in RGA party leadership and you're not in the Cabinet. Do you now consider yourself a political outsider?" Vishal takes a moment to think.
"I don't think a former President of the Republic will ever be able to tap into the 'outsider' cliche. I do have a lot more free time nowadays to focus on jobs like fighting for workers rights in a scrap factory, which is an issue I'd lov-"
"You had a lot of health issues that contributed to the accusation that you 'disappeared' during your term as president. How has your medical situation developed?"
"I'm certainly fairing a lot better than I was. We have some of the best medical staff in the world here in Fernão and I hope we can work to make sure all citizens have access to this excellent standard of care."
"Finally, where do you go from here? What's the plan for Vishal Vig?"
"I am still a national Senator, and I will be working hard in the legislative to make sure the entire government keeps doing it's absolute best for the people of the nation. I will work with my party and others to push forward our ideals, and I hope to continue making Fernão a better place to be. We'll see how it goes from there."
"Senator Vig, thank you for coming down to the studio."
