Eduardo Suplicy: Thank you! It’s truly a relief to have reached this stage after such a challenging four months. Initially, it was a daunting experience. The diagnosis came as a shock, but I was surrounded by incredibly supportive friends, family, and medical professionals who helped me throughout the treatment. When the doctors confirmed my remission, it felt like a second chance at life, an opportunity to continue my advocacy work with renewed vigor.

I am more determined than ever to see the Basic Citizenship Income not only implemented in Brazil but around the world.
Time.news Editor: Given your experience and commitment, what are the next steps in your advocacy efforts?
Eduardo Suplicy: We need to continue raising awareness about the necessity of Basic Citizenship Income, showing how it can reduce poverty and support those in need.
