President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) said on Thursday, 7, that the departure of Brazil from the hunger map of the United Nations (UN) is worth an Oscar or Cannes Festival.
“It is a huge joy this month to receive the information that Brazil, in just two and a half years, left the map of hunger, which embarrassed Brazil, again. This is an achievement that is worth an Oscar, a cannes and a Berlin festival,” said Lula.
The president’s statement was made during the Cine Alvorada session at the Dawn Palace, which broadcast the film “The Secret Agent”, starring Wagner Moura and directed by Kléber Mendonça Filho.

During the speech, Lula said that culture is important for the Brazilian to have a “revolutionary behavior.” The president also said that Brazil is not a third world country and that the population needs to be “proud” of being less known than anyone.
Lula cried when talking about the conflict in the Gaza Strip. “We have no information on how many children have died. Now we have reached the Cretinice of giving food and water to the children and killing them,” said the president.
From the Esplanade of Ministries, the Ministers of Communications, Frederico Siqueira Filho attended the event; of culture, Margareth Menezes; the Secretariat of Social Communication, Sidônio Palmeira; and ports and airports, Silvio Costa Filho.
