Lula, la batalla final
El presidente de Brasil, antiguo obrero y sindicalista, pragmático y hábil negociador, busca un cuarto mandato para impedir el regreso al poder de la ultraderecha con los Bolsonaro
In a momentous week at the United Nations, 120 world leaders gathered in September for a historic assembly. Among them, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the 80-year-old son of a humble woman named Lindu, stood out with a unique and epic political trajectory. His mother, an illiterate mother of eight, played a pivotal role in shaping his character, demonstrating the values of sovereignty, democracy, and multilateralism that he passionately advocated during his speech at the General Assembly.
Lula's discourse was not solely focused on grand concepts, as he often delved into the intimate details of his life. He fondly recalled his mother's daily lessons that instilled in him the principles that defined his political career. Born in a small, thatched house, his mother single-handedly raised eight children, transforming her into a woman of great beauty who could now address the audience at the UN.
The stage for Lula's speech was reminiscent of his early days, when he rallied workers against the dictatorship. Speaking from his experience as a veteran politician, he began his seventh electoral campaign, drawing parallels between the past struggles for freedom and the present challenges faced by humanity.
