Bulletin 581 – People’s Committee in Defense of Lula and Democracy
Straight from Curitiba – 9/24/2019 – 535 days of democracy – 8:13 PM
- On a day in which right wing extremist President Jair Bolsonaro, once again, shocked the World with a violent speech full of lies at the UN, it became indispensable to remember the speeches that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff made during UN General Assembly openings. In a statement, the PT said that both “spoke in the General Assembly in favor of the values of peace, dialogue between peoples and nations and cooperation for development with social justice and environmental preservation. They defended fair reforms in global trade, economic relations and security. They garnered respect for Brazil and caused it to grow”.
