Lula Government

Chronicle of immobility

By ANA CAROLINA DE BELLO BUSINARO: Lula reenacts the listening, but silences the mobilization; he condemns Bolsonarism, but embraces its neoliberal legacy. His very broad front does not contain the right and dilutes the left in shades of gray. The past is restored

Lula and the war

By MANUEL DOMINGOS NETO: In 2026, no one will ask how many times Lula was applauded in Paris, but whether he had the courage to stop the flow of oil that feeds Israeli tanks. History does not repeat tragedies as farce: it records them

Equatorial margin – dispute of converging interests

By SANDRO FRANCISCO DETONI: With 45,58% of Petrobras in the hands of foreign “investors”, the exploration of the Equatorial Margin is revealed as a sophisticated fiscal adjustment mechanism disguised as energy sovereignty. Thus, the government acts as a mere facilitator of private profits.

Frontal opposition to the Lula government is ultra-leftism

By VALERIO ARCARY: The frontal opposition to the Lula government, at this moment, is not vanguard — it is shortsightedness. While the PSol oscillates below 5% and Bolsonarism maintains 30% of the country, the anti-capitalist left cannot afford to

Demographics against Lula

By LUÍS FERNANDO VITAGLIANO: Thirteen million young people from the Northeast were born between 1995 and 2010, growing up with cisterns, Bolsa Família and electricity as a given reality, not as a historical achievement

The Lula government and Congress

By JEAN MARC VON DER WEID: It is an illusion to think that one can win elections with electoral strategies and govern with a radicalized “hidden” agenda

Now we have experts? Where?

By FRANCISCO BATISTA JÚNIOR: Experts in the SUS or for the SUS? How Public-Private Partnerships are digging the grave of the Universal Health System

Reformulation of higher education

By ANDREA HARADA: The withdrawal of the teacher status from the pedagogical mediator occurred due to pressure from capital, the market-peer, and was met by the MEC, the state-peer of the CC-Peers in charge of discussing the review of EaD

The South American transcontinental corridors

By ADALBERTO DA SILVA RETTO JUNIOR & TAÍS SCHIAVON: The transoceanic railway is seen as an opportunity for Brazil to strengthen its position as a major logistics hub in South America, facilitating trade with Asia and elsewhere

Lula as president of BRICS

By PAULO NOGUEIRA BATISTA JUNIOR: The BRICS are the only group of countries capable of countering the G7 and offering concrete alternatives to the Western-sponsored disorder

The enemies of the public university

By JOÃO CARLOS SALLES: While the conservative elite attacks public universities as a 'useless expense', the resistance of scientists and rectors presses for a national project that prioritizes free, quality public education — a decisive test for

A question of focus

By JOSÉ RICARDO FIGUEIREDO: Left-wing criticism of the Lula government mixes valid issues (austerity, trade agreements) with mistaken generalizations. Prioritizing the fight against rentierism and fascism – not ideological purism – is essential to moving forward

Resetting national priorities

By JOÃO CARLOS SALLES: Andifes warns about the dismantling of federal universities, but its formal language and political timidity end up mitigating the severity of the crisis, while the government fails to prioritize higher education

Motorcycle delivery men

By RENATO DAGNINO: Platform Capitalism vs. Digital Cooperativism: the solidarity economy can free motorcycle delivery drivers from exploitation by BigTechs

The lady, the scam and the little swindler

By SANDRA BITENCOURT: From digital hate to teen pastors: how the controversies of Janja, Virgínia Fonseca and Miguel Oliveira reveal the crisis of authority in the age of algorithms

The direction of the Central Bank

By PAULO NOGUEIRA BATISTA JUNIOR: The high interest bill: the rich profit, the poor suffer, and the government could lose in 2026
