Three ministers of the Lula government defended the partnership between the executive and the social movements during a fair organized by the Movement of Landless Workers (MST) this Sunday 14 in Sao Paulo. The event was attended by Luiz Marinho (Labour), Márcio Macedo (General Secretariat of the Presidency) and Paulo Pimenta (Secretary for Social Communication).
At the opening of the day’s main discussion table, Marinho affirmed that the government “will make a difference to end hunger”, but only in collaboration with social movements. Pimenta, of Secom, went further and said that the government’s alliance with social movements – and, above all, with the MST – is decisive for tackling hunger and guaranteeing the creation of new social programmes.
“We are here to reaffirm the commitment of President Lula’s government to end hunger in this country and restore dignity to the Brazilian people, and this cannot be done without allies, without partnerships, and certainly this collaboration with the movements is decisive and , in particular, with the MST, with the compañeros and compañeras of the MST”, said Pimenta, speaking of the agricultural production of the MST.
He also listed a number of social programs already taken up by the Lula government – such as Bolsa Família – and promised the return of other measures, such as the Popular Pharmacy. During his speech, Minister Secom took the opportunity to indirectly criticize former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), suspected of having cheated his vaccination card. “There is no card with vaccine fraud,” he said, speaking of the immunization monitoring required by Bolsa Família.
Marinho, do Trabalho, defended that there will be no recovery of true democracy as long as there are social inequalities, work similar to slavery and unequal wages between men and women. He also defended respect for Indigenous people, LGBT people and “the landless, who need land.”
