Lula, la épica de la izquierda mundial
El presidente de Brasil, antiguo obrero y sindicalista, perseverante y pragmático, impide la vuelta al poder de la ultraderecha con los Bolsonaro
Lula, the epic of the global left, was one of the 120 world leaders who addressed the United Nations headquarters in September with a political and personal trajectory unlike any other. Born to a woman named Lindu, Lula da Silva, now 80 years old and hailing from Garanhuns, Pernambuco, has constructed his life story around her. Speaking at his tenth address to the General Assembly, the Brazilian president (2003-2009 and again since 2023) discussed overarching themes like sovereignty, democracy, and multilateralism, but also relished delving into intimate details during rallies.
He recounted how his mother, an illiterate woman with eight young children, had the courage to leave his father. Living in a humble mud hut, she raised her children and transformed the young Lulinha into the beautiful speaker he is today. The setting evoked nostalgic memories of a time when workers chanted against dictatorship from the very same stadium.
