“I am realizing that Brazil needs us more than ever,” said the former president, who cited the case of families living in large cities looking for bones among the waste to feed themselves.

“The bankers ask for meetings and I am going to have to have many meetings with businessmen and bankers. But they never ask me about the people in the streets, about hunger, unemployment, they never ask about that, they want to know about the public spending ceiling , the payment of the public debt, everything to ensure their profits,” he said at the act.

Lula affirmed that in this election against Jair Bolsonaro he is facing “the worst people” linked to the murder of the black socialist councilor Marielle Franco in March 2018 in Rio Janeiro, a crime for which vigilante police are detained.

“We are fighting against the worst people, against the murderers of Marielle Franco, the vigilantes, the people who are not afraid of killing innocents,” he said, also citing the case of worker Genivaldo dos Santos, murdered by police officers who tortured him in a gas chamber in Sergipe last week.

Lula stated that his goal is to raise the level of investment and access to all levels of education.
