President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this Monday (3) that Brazil would be, “in the worst case scenario”, the fourth best economy in the world if it had maintained the pace of growth that it had at the end of his first presidential term, when ranked sixth. “We were the sixth and we retreated to the 13th economy, in a demonstration that the country has moved backwards. Our country fell into an obscure world and we lost track of the greatness and what this country could do for its people”, he highlighted, during the ceremony for the start of works on a new stretch of the West-East Integration Railroad in Ilhéus (BA). ). “This country was gripped by hatred and was gripped by lies. We are now restoring the country we need. And that’s what I want to talk to entrepreneurs about. What can a government offer to a group of Brazilian and foreign businessmen who want to invest in a country like Brazil?” In his speech, Lula mentioned the importance of guaranteeing political, economic, legal and social stability in the country in order to increase investments. “For this, it is necessary to have a President of the Republic who has character, credibility, who does not lie, who talks to the people and businessmen about the reality of his country”, he concluded.
