- During a moment in which the right wing extremist president-elect is announcing the fusion of ministries, causing deep setbacks in various fields, the Lula Institute published data on its social media about the exponential policy advances in areas like Environment, Family Agriculture and Agribusiness during the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva government, with data on each sector stored in different folders. The data shows that, if the government wants to, it can foster development while respecting nature, the environment and the traditional peoples of Amazonia. Read more here:

The resolution includes thanks for all of the people who voted for the Fernando Haddad/Manuela D´Ávila ticket, representatives of democracy and of a project for development and social inclusion that was inaugurated by ex-President Lula.
