“He was a political leader and worried about not clinging to the spirituality of people, but with the Ukrainian war, hunger, with the things of the people around the world. So I think our coming here is thanks,” added the head of state.

“I think it was a debt that we paid to a man who provided a service to humanity. The next Pope can be the same as him, with the same heart, with the same religious commitments, with the fight against the inequality that Pope Francis had,” said the president.

Trump and Zelensky

Information on the encounter between Trump and Zelenski in Rome, Lula considered that he did not know “what they spoke of, I cannot wander … the important thing is to find a way out for this war, which is running out of the explanation”.

“That is, nobody can explain and nobody wants to talk about peace. And Brazil continues that the solution is to make them feel at the negotiation table and find the solution not only for Ukrainian, Putin, but also for the violence that Israel is committed to the Gaza Strip,” he said.

“Nor did he see Trump”

Speaking of Trump, Lula said he didn’t say goodbye because “I was talking to my people about the outgoing security problem, it was a great confusion”. “I didn’t say goodbye, I didn’t see, I didn’t look at the side,” concluded the Brazilian president.
