Brazil’s🇧🇷 President Lula Da Silva on Going Underground, during the reign of Jair Bolsonaro: ‘A part of the country’s elite cannot stand to see poor people eating in restaurants, or travelling by plane, or buying cars. They CANNOT STAND to see poor people ascending, which is what we did through hundreds of public policies to improve the lives of poor people in this country.’ During Lula Da Silva’s transformative first Presidential term (2003-2009), 20 million Brazilians were lifted out of poverty, in part due to Lula’s signature Bolsa Familia program.
