Good evening.
Desconhecido
Roda Viva is marking its thousandth program today.
Desconhecido
Over these 19 years, the major political, economic and social issues have been discussed on the program, which also hosted some of our greatest artists and intellectuals.
Desconhecido
Today, in celebration of this thousandth program, the guest is one of Roda Viva's most frequent attendees, the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Desconhecido
By the way, it is worth noting that TV Cultura was the first television broadcaster to interview Lula at the start of his career as a union leader.
Desconhecido
We will now see this and other footage.
Desconhecido
Those were the difficult times of the labor struggle in the ABC region during the dictatorship, and a new leadership emerged determined to change relations between employers and employees in the country.
Desconhecido
We will adhere strongly to the decision of our congress.
Desconhecido
Our congress decided that... This was the first interview given by Lula to a television channel.
Desconhecido
Shortly thereafter, he appeared at the TV Cultura studios to speak on the program Vox Populi, where he explained in more detail the objectives of the nascent labor movement.
Desconhecido
What I want to make very clear, this is my conviction, is that if throughout the entire existence of Brazilian unionism, it sleeping could not solve the problems of the working class, I hope that the same opportunity will now be given to some union leaders who are awake and are trying to solve the problems of the working class.
Desconhecido
From then on, Lula became a regular guest on Roda Viva, as leader of the PT, federal deputy and candidate for the presidency.
Desconhecido
It was a long road to victory.
Desconhecido
Well, over these 19 years, Roda Viva has been transformed thanks to the work of a huge team.
Desconhecido
More than 4,000 journalists have appeared on the program; just among the hosts there were 14 professionals.
Desconhecido
It effectively became a major center for the discussion of ideas, where the country's principal problems were debated over these nearly two decades.
Desconhecido
This, incidentally, is Roda Viva's main characteristic.
Desconhecido
Politicians, artists, intellectuals, Brazilians and foreigners have passed through here.
Desconhecido
When the first program premiered in 1986, the country was undergoing redemocratization after two decades of military rule.
Desconhecido
The then Minister of Justice, Paulo Brossard, was the first interviewee.
Desconhecido
It was national security.
Desconhecido
And I think that this did not help at all and was very detrimental.
Desconhecido
From then on, the program reflected the highs and lows of our politics and our economy.
Desconhecido
And finally the sovereign renegotiation of the external debt.
Desconhecido
We understand that the renegotiation of the debt must be such that it adapts to our economic growth.
Desconhecido
It is no longer possible for us to sacrifice our economic growth because of these agreements that have been made with respect to the external debt.
Desconhecido
Major confrontations were fought here.
Desconhecido
bringing together all political currents.
Desconhecido
I understand that the party is fundamental.
Desconhecido
One of the definitions of democracy is the party regime.
Desconhecido
Without parties, there is no democracy.
Desconhecido
With strong, well-equipped parties, it is an improvement for democracy.
Desconhecido
If in the society of a country, in a properly organized society, there were no impunity, corruption would surely either not exist.
Desconhecido
Or would it be greatly reduced?
Desconhecido
I repeat, I do not regret anything I did.
Desconhecido
I feel very sad.
Desconhecido
Saddened, embarrassed, but I am at peace with myself.
Desconhecido
This is fundamentally important to me.
Desconhecido
Historical figures also left their impressions.
Desconhecido
Capitalism is already incompatible with the scientific and technical revolution.
