“Democracy is a non-negotiable value. Only through the dialogue you favor will we be able to prioritize economic growth while reducing the inequalities and social setbacks that today impose suffering and despair on a large part of the Brazilian population,” read part of the letter.
The document was baptized as the Pact of Brasília, and also announces the creation of the Federation Council, which will be composed of representatives from the federation, states, and municipalities.
The goal of this council, according to the text, is to “set a permanent agenda for dialogue and agreement on issues identified as priorities by the federal entities.”
It also refers to the joint management of public resources for regional development measures.
In this sense, he cites unemployment, inflation, hunger and poverty as problems that must be overcome by the federal, state and municipal governments.
The speech was issued by the Planalto Palace, seat of the executive power, after Lula’s meeting with the conservatives, who also claim to have a commitment to the country’s institutional and social stability.
This content was published 19 days after the invasions and vandalism perpetrated on January 8 by extremist supporters of defeated President Jair Bolsonaro at the headquarters of the National Congress, the Federal Supreme Court and Planalto.
In the first minutes of the meeting with the state authorities, Lula, along with Vice President Geraldo Alcmene and other government ministers, stated that the public authority must guarantee to the people that the spread of hatred has come to an end.
“We will show the Brazilian people that the hatred is over. What happened on January 8 will not happen again,” said the founder of the Workers’ Party.
He predicted the restoration of democracy, because its essence is dialogue “unless it hinders the other’s right to speak. That is why I say that Brazil will return to normal life.”
In addition to the subject of taxation on the circulation of goods, the governor of each state in the meeting with the president referred to three local projects and one of regional importance.
