The São Paulo Expo Center Norte will host the event, which will not be open to the public, to launch the front created with the aim of rebuilding the country, with sustainable development, employment and decent wages, social protection and the people in the Union budget, as Lula commented.
Let’s Go Together for Brazil brings together seven political parties and seven trade union centers, as well as social movements such as the Landless (MST).
The Workers’ Party (PT) indicates on its official website that this new front sees in “Lula the hope of putting Brazil back on the path of social justice, economic growth, national sovereignty and real democracy.”
He refers that, in recent months, the former labor leader traveled the country and exchanged on various issues with a wide range of political and social leaders to form this movement.
In addition to the Communist Party of Brazil and Green, with which the PT formed a federation of political organizations, the former head of state had the support of formations such as the Sustainability Network, Solidarity and the Brazilian Socialist Party.
The latter nominated former governor Geraldo Alckmin to be Lula’s vice president in a future race for power in the October elections.
The presidents of all these parties will attend the event, which will feature a speech by the historical PT leader. Alckmin will testify for him via video.
The PT recalls that, at the beginning of the year, Lula explained, during his first interview in 2022, that he could not present himself as a presidential candidate without first building a broad movement to bring together those who are committed to the reconstruction of the country and its democracy.
“Brazil in 2023 will be a much more destroyed country than the one in 2003. We will have to talk a lot, have a lot of patience and much more skill. Political intelligence is needed to build a group of people convinced to row alongside you », he commented.
In addition to the support of the parties, the former mechanical turner talked and called different social movements to commit to the resumption of growth and social justice.
To date, the former president, who regained political rights in March 2021 after the annulment of his convictions, leads all opinion polls towards the vote, in which the far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro intends to be re-elected.
