Look, I'm a pre-candidate for the presidency of the republic and I decided to try to understand a bit the minds of my competitors.
So I decided to take a few political science lessons from Lula and I'm a bit shocked by what I saw.
Take a look at this.
What matters today is that we answer for ourselves where the democrats went wrong, where the left went wrong.
Where did the democrats go wrong?
Okay, he's talking about extremisms, right?
Apparently it's an event at the UN about extremists.
And then he said where the left went wrong.
What I understand, then, is that he is saying that democrats are necessarily leftists.
And, therefore, extremists are, in this case, right-wing.
Let's keep listening.
Maybe it's not that.
Because the far right's growth, with the strength it's gaining.
Is it their virtue or our incompetence?
Let's answer for ourselves.
What did we fail to do to strengthen democracy?
Where did we go wrong?
What did I do as president of the republic to strengthen democracy?
Lula, like a drunk, makes this confusion between the left and democracy.
And he goes to an event that was convened on this international agenda largely because of the death of Charlie Kirk, who was a right-wing activist, who was killed by an extreme-left shooter.
He went there to explain that democratic progress happens... when you fight the far right and that all the left is democratic.
But more, let's see what he's saying here.
Because many times we win elections with leftist rhetoric and when we start to govern, we cater much more to the interests of our enemies than to those of our friends.
Many times we govern by responding to what the press publishes about us.
For him, being democratic is attending to the interests of leftist organizations.
And he complains that in a democracy, sometimes he has to attend to the interests of adversaries, because, at times, he has to, let's say, respond to provocations from the press.
That's exactly what a president of the republic, a governor, a political leader in a democracy does.
You have to respect the existence of the minority, of the adversary.
As a whole.
That's at the base, including, of the idea of separation of powers and the existence of the minority.
Because if there is no minority and there is no space for that dialectic between government and opposition, there is no democracy.
But that's a democrat speaking.
But let's see how this ends.
The market's demands.
The need to appease the market.
The need to appease the adversaries.
And many times, our voters who went to the streets, who were beaten, who were humiliated.
are considered by us to be sectarians and radicals.
And we start not paying attention to them and paying attention to those who speak well of us.
