He echoed something said on Saturday at the presentation of the Let’s Go Together for Brazil movement: “Government is only possible if you put your heart into it… It’s not about accounting, it’s about the numbers of income and expenditure. In fact, we have a social debt to 215 million Brazilians who must live with dignity,” he added.
The Vamos… coalition brings together seven parties, all united in one cause (victory against far-right President Jair Bolsonaro in the elections), along with trade union and social movements.
For Lula, the task of improving the country becomes easier from the moment politics is thought from the bottom of the social pyramid, and then to the top.
“Governing Brazil is very easy if you include the poor in the budget and the rich in the income tax. This logic applies to family, it applies to everything in the world, we must take care of those who need it. Most Brazilian leaders don’t like the poor, they don’t like the workers,” he said.
