Lula stated that, as a person from the Northeast, he was proud of the region's population, which he described as hardworking and persistent. He said that when he took office as President in 2003, the Northeast was neglected by the government, and millions of families were facing hunger and drought. According to him, programs like Light for All, Water for All, the São Francisco River Transposition, investments in family farming, and the Bolsa Família helped transform the lives of millions of Northeast residents. Lula assessed that the region had advanced greatly over more than 20 years and advocated for more opportunities and development. On the Day of the Northeastern, he sent greetings to the population. #Nordeste #Desenvolvimento #OrgulhoNordestino (translated)
