The President () said on Thursday (3) that he took a “devastated land” in his third term, during an event to publicize the government’s actions in a strong tone of electoral propaganda.

“The feeling I had [ao voltar] It was that of a person who returns home after a long time and, instead of the house, only finds ruins. The same feeling as a rural worker who returns to the countryside to plant and only finds devastated land. After two years of work, we organized the house, “he said.

Lula was the only one to speak, in a speech he opened with statements against the tariff measures imposed by US President Donald Trump, as well as speech in defense of democracy. “Brazil that does not contain it to any flag other than green and yellow, which respects all countries, from the poorest to the richest, but requires reciprocity in treatment,” he said.

“We need everyone’s union to destroy hatred and lie,” he said. “We also know about the extraordinary work capacity of the Brazilian people. Brazil is in the right direction, generating income and opportunities for those who want to change their lives. This is Brazil that we are building, Brazil of Brazilians,” he said in reinforcement of one of the mothers of this new phase of management.
