Lula promises to demilitarize the government if he wins the elections

“We have a legacy, but the legacy is not what will win the elections,” warned Lula, who already last week was very critical of the strong presence of the military in the president’s government, Jair Bolsonarowhom he accused of using the Armed Forces and national symbols to hide his lack of a political project.

In the meeting with union representatives, the former Brazilian president has predicted “complicated elections” ahead of the October meeting, in which the polls place him as the top favorite.

“It will not be easy, it is not a war that has been won, it is a war that the people can win,” Lula has said, reports the Brazilian newspaper ‘O Globo’.

However, while waiting for his candidacy to be made official, Lula has assured that he now feels as optimistic as when he was first elected in 2002. As then, he has promised to go back to “putting the poor in the budgets” and defending the question of energy sovereignty, while criticizing the privatization Eletrobras and the sale of the subsidiaries of Petrobras.
