At the end of his speech this Thursday (13) in Shanghai, during the inauguration of Dilma Rousseff at Brics Bank, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) improvised a critique of individualism. It was one of the most applauded passages. “We need to defeat individualism, which is taking over humanity. Humanity was born to live in community.”
The PT member echoed one of the most repeated concepts by the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, with whom he has scheduled a meeting today, Friday (14). “A community with a shared future for humanity” is one of the slogans around which Chinese foreign policy has been built over the past decade. For Lula, “the chemistry of kindness, loyalty, brotherhood is what must prevail between human beings and between States, otherwise we will not rebuild a just world.” The petista also defended “dispersing the hatred established not only in Brazil, but in various countries of the world.” “In addition to taking care of education, exports, in addition to taking care of everything, we have to take care of the mind of humanity, which is being transformed,” Lula said. “Humanism must react.”
