“A war can perhaps be won single‑handedly. But peace — lasting peace — cannot be secured without the support of all.”
2005
“Hunger is the world’s best weapon of mass destruction, killing millions of people every year.”
2005
“Free trade is very important if we respect equality among nations.”
2006
“The true path to peace is shared development. If we do not want war to go global, justice must go global.”
2009
“Hunger is the most devastating weapon of mass destruction on our planet, it doesn’t kill soldiers, it kills innocent children who are not even one‑year old.”
2022
“Our most urgent commitment is to end hunger again. We cannot accept as normal that millions of men, women and children in this country have nothing to eat, or that they consume fewer calories and proteins than necessary.”
Lula pledged to “disarm an increasingly gun‑toting country where personal firearms have become a symbol of Bolsonaro’s conservative base.”
2023
“Why can’t we do trade based on our own currencies? Who was it that decided that the dollar was the currency after the disappearance of the gold standard?”
2024
“Hunger is not something natural. Hunger is something that requires a political decision.”
“We can no longer play, every time we have to cut spending, on the shoulders of the people most in need.”
2025
“Pé‑de‑Meia is a revolution. We discovered that half a million young people were dropping out of high school to help with the family budget. So we decided to create a savings account for these youth.”
