“Trying to blame Dilma for the collapse is trying to appease the 2016 coup that devastated this country,” Lula said during an interview aired this Friday on the state’s Radio Jornal show Passando a Limpo (Clarification). Pernambuco (Northeast).
He explained that when Eduardo Cunha took over the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies and “decided to build bombs against Dilma every day, sent them an interim measure to remove a microphone, he removed all the microphones in the world and shamed the government collection ».
Lula recalled that at the end of Rousseff’s first term in December 2014, Brazil had an unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, almost full employment and the minimum wage was higher than inflation.
In addition, he added, the country fulfilled important social programs such as Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House, My Life), which built most of the houses for the poor.
The former union leader also bore the responsibility of former governor Michel Temer, who enacted labor reform that promised to create jobs that were never created.
“It’s important to remember what happened after Temer. What benefit did he have for this country? He ended workers’ rights and said he would create jobs. Where’s the job? he wondered.
On the other hand, the founder of the Labor Party (PT) pledged that if elected in October’s elections, he will take action to lower the value of petrol and create alternatives to the so-called International Parity Price (PPI). of the state-owned mixed economy company Petrobras.
Created in 2016 during the Temer government, the PPI is connected to the system of international amounts, and therefore the change in the dollar and the barrel of oil directly affects the calculation of the company’s fuels.
“The price does not have to correspond to import parity. It can be based on our reality, and that’s what we’re going to do… We’ve already shown it’s possible,” the PT leader noted.
The Supreme Court in March 2021 annulled the convictions of Lula, who had regained his political rights and the ability to be re-elected in the next vote to re-elect far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro.
