“These guys cannot be confused with agribusiness people”, according to the PT candidate
The PT candidate for the Palácio do Planalto, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, made a separation in agribusiness this Monday (10.Oct.2022). The PT member waved to one side and attacked the other.
“We cannot accept that there is a good agribusiness man and a bad agribusiness man”said Lula.
“There are agribusiness people, and there are bandits. The bandits are those who do not respect the environmental issue, those who want to deforest. And these guys cannot be confused with agribusiness people”declared Lula.
The sector gave broad support to Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in 2018, when he became President of the Republic. In 2022, Lula moves to try to attract at least a part of the group.
In the 1st round, PT lost in several states where agribusiness is strong, such as Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás and São Paulo.
The PT member waved to exporters in the sector.
“I am not one of those who say that ‘ah, Brazil cannot continue exporting only soybeans and iron ore’, because I think that this country, when exporting soybeans today, is exporting a lot of technology in a soybean grain”he said.
The speech took place in São Paulo, where the PT candidate met with economists and representatives of civil society.
Names such as André Lara Rezende, Eduardo Gianetti (economists), Priscila Cruz (from the NGO Todos pela Educação) and the toucans José Aníbal and Pimenta da Veiga spoke.
as showed the Power 360 in August, Lula’s political group tries to enter agribusiness sectors through the largest producers.
Also in August, in an interview with National Journal, PT associated part of agribusiness with fascism. The phrase caused strain on Lula’s campaign, and was used by Bolsonaristas.
