Lula speaks to the United Nations for the tenth time; Remember the speeches and know what to expect for this year

The Brazilian delegation went to the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations Organization in the United States, among the tensions with the Trump government

It is the tenth time that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) participates in the United Nations General Assembly (one) – but it is the first with Brazil immersed in a diplomatic crisis with the United States, where the event takes place. The 80th edition of the meeting will present over 150 international leaders and will begin on Tuesday 23. Lula must be the president to open the speeches, following the tradition of Brazil which is the first Member State to pronounce, shortly after the discourse of the United Nations representatives. The tensioning with the Trump government must be on fire.

In total, not to mention the edition of this year, Lula has already opened eight General Assemblies-2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2009, 2023 and 2024 The only year in which he did not participate was in 2010, when he focused on the election campaign of Dilma Rousseff – and Celso Amorim also took the turn.

Sovereign Brazil

Foreign policy has been based on the first time that Lula rose to the United Nations phase. In 2003, he spoke of his research to expand and diversify the international presence of Brazil, restricting links with countries beyond North America and Europe. In 2004, he underlined the importance of the political independence of the poorest countries, speaking at the end of “colonialism”. The question is always present, even if between the lines. But this year, Brazil’s sovereignty must be in the center.

The tension between Brazil and the United States began to climb in July, when Trump threatened to tax Brazilian imports of 50% in response to the “witch hunt” that Brazil was doing against former president Jair Bolsonaro. Lula and the Brazilian authorities faced the situation as an “unacceptable blackmail” and did not give up. Trump did not give up even, and in August he started the sanction – as well as many others to the Brazilian authorities, such as the application of the Magnitsky law to Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court and the revocation of visas.

And in parallel the rites followed. Since then, Jair Bolsonaro has been in home arrest after being offending in the process investigating him and one of his children, Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL), for trying to interfere with the process of the plot of the coup d’état in search of support of the US authorities. In the case of the plot of the coup, he was tried by the STF and sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison for attempted coup.

The Trump government issued another wave of sanctions to the Brazilian authorities in response to Bolsonaro’s situation on Monday 22, one day before the start of the United Nations General Assembly. The Republican will not participate in the event. There is also no confirmation that he will meet Lula, who is in New York.

The tension is also reflected in people. At the beginning of this month, the roads were taken on September 7 from pockets that cried the amnesty to the former president, the allies and involved in the documents of January 8, as asked for Trump’s intervention, as exposed in several posters for the law. And now, last Sunday 21, the demonstrators against the amnesty also crowded the streets in Brazil. Already at the congress, the Amnesty project continues in the process. And all this highlighted, even more, the speech of the “sovereign Brazil” of Lula.

In the United Nations, Lula says that there is a “genocide” in Gaza and says that Israel makes “civil murder”:

Environment

The environmental question is also commonly cited by Lula and this year it can be stabbed that it will be one of the prominent topics of the President’s speech. This is because, in November, Brazil will host the United Nations Conference for climate change (COP) for the first time. The global event will be in Belém, in Amazon, and will put the country as the center of the climate debate.

In 2007, Lula opened his speech talking about climate change, warning that “the risks of an unprecedented environmental and human catastrophe grow”. In 2009 he claimed that countries should engage in the most significant emissions reduction rules. Since then, the climatic crisis has worsened and the commitments of the “rich countries” are still to be desired.

Lula says he will call Trump to invite him to Cop-30: “If he doesn’t come, it’s because you don’t want”:

Fight against hunger

In past speeches, it can be said that one of the most important subjects of Lula is Brazil’s struggle against hunger, poverty and inequality. The first time he spoke to the General Assembly in 2003, he even suggested the creation of a world hunger committee. In 2006, he spoke of Bolsa Familia Brasiliana and the Hunger Zero programs.

Already this year, the topic should be taken up, highlighting the importance of the topic and with a historical milestone to be shared: in July of this year, Brazil has left the hunger map. Brazil had remained outside the indicator in 2014, but returned in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
