Africa-Press – Angola. The new President of Brazil, Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, wept when talking about social inequalities when addressing the nation.
Lula da Silva, who was speaking at the Planalto Palace, stressed that the hallmark of his new government will be the fight against all forms of inequality in the country.
In addition to combating social inequality, Lula highlighted that the Government will also combat racism, gender inequality and that it will act for the protection of indigenous peoples, through the ministries of Racial Inequality, Women and Native Peoples.
“From this fundamental struggle, a transformed country will emerge, a country of all, by all and for all, a generous and solidary country, which will not leave anyone behind”, he guaranteed.
During his speech, he once again thanked all those who participated in the vigil in Curitiba (PR), when he was imprisoned for 580 days as a result of Operation Lava Jato investigations.
Lula also reiterated in his address to the Nation that there are not two Brazils, and that he will govern for the 215 million Brazilian men and women.
“I will govern for everyone, looking towards our bright common future, and not through the rear view mirror of a past”, he highlighted.
