And I’m indignant when eight of the most rich countries of the world discuss hidden in a cupola the great decisions, most part of the population doesn’t participate at all. And the whole world is taken by these great decisions that the World Bank, IMF, G8 discuss and define by themselves. And the world’s population – I can speak for the Brazilians – suffer great
impacts coming from those decisions.
And don’t have the chance to participate, and we have a lot to say. There are many impacts
directly affecting the world’s population. We don’t want them to
decide, that small groups, small cupolas decide on our behalf. We can say what we want.
We have a lot to say. And we don’t want to have to accept those definitions. Experts say what we have to do in relation to the world’s climate, to the environment, to society… And what we have seen is that it has got worse, and worse, and worse.
So we have to create opportunities and to accept that many more people have a saying all over the world. Eight countries defining what we have to do. And there’s no use in calling our president Lula, he can’t do it. He can’t handle it. He can’t handle this reality here. He hasn’t solved our problems that are huge, huge… Social impacts, social problems, inequalities… Enough of social inequalities! We want justice!
