Lula affirms that he will receive a Brazil in “hardship” after the “tempest of fascism”

The elected president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvaaffirmed this Thursday that on January 1 a country “in a situation of hardship” will take office, which he attributed to the “tempest of fascism” unleashed by the Government of Jair Bolsonaro.

Lula led a ceremony in which the final report prepared by the research team was presented transitionabout which he said that he revealed the “irresponsibility” that prevailed in the management of the far-right leader, whom he defeated in the October elections.

“I don’t intend to make fireworks with this material”, guaranteed Lula, who said that, beyond serving to organize the work, this report will allow “Brazilian society” to know the reality in which the country finds itself after what he described as “tempest of fascism”, for the four years that Bolsonaro ruled.

The content of the final report was summarized by the vice president-elect, Geraldo Alckmin, coordinator of the transition team, who said that “the Brazil that Lula will receive is much more difficult and sad” and “suffers setbacks in all areas.”

He cited health, with deficiencies in vaccination against covid, but also in campaigns against polio, a disease against which “50% of children” in the country do not have the full immunization schedule.

He also said that there were “enormous setbacks” and serious budgetary problems in education and culture, a serious infrastructure situation, with “14,000 stopped works”, and a “paralysis” in the construction of low-income housing.

He referred to environmental management, one of the most critical and abandoned points by the Bolsonaro government, and assured that in the four-year term of the far-right leader there was “a 59% increase in Amazon deforestation.”

“In short, there has been a dismantling of the Brazilian State” due to “not austerity, but lack of efficiency”, and now the new government will have “a Herculean task” ahead of it, Alkcmin said.

Both Lula and the vice president-elect had words of “thank you” with the legislative chambers, which on Wednesday approved a constitutional amendment that will leave out of the fiscal regulations the money that the new government will dedicate to assisting the poorest.

Lula maintained that the approval of this measure was necessary “to cover the irresponsibility of the government that is about to leave”, and the support he had even from political forces that will be in opposition as of January 1 has been “a demonstration of solidarity with the poorest people in this country.
