Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has articulated a broad domestic agenda focused on economic development, social justice, and addressing historical inequalities. His economic model emphasizes income distribution, job creation, and wage increases, supported by state-owned banks like Banco do Brasil and BNDES to finance long-term innovation and energy transitions. Lula has intensified his push for structural political reform to reduce polarization and address what he described as ‘generalized promiscuity in politics.’ A central component of this effort is the proposed abolition of the Special Campaign Financing Fund (FEFC) to prevent political parties from acting as mere ‘clubs’ for campaign financing. He has also criticized the National Congress for its control over approximately 50% of the Union’s budget, advocating for changes to the parliamentary amendment system to restore the balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. In the judicial sphere, the President suggested creating a consultative council involving civil society to participate in the selection process for Supreme Federal Court (STF) ministers, ensuring nominees have established biographies rather than being mere political appointees. This proposal comes amid scrutiny regarding the Court’s credibility following investigations into communications between banker Daniel Vorcaro and STF justices. He has also criticized the public exposure of STF ministers, suggesting that judicial discussions should remain within official court records. Regarding security and fiscal policy, Lula proposed a strategy to dismantle the financial infrastructure of organized crime to combat the ‘multinational industry’ of criminal activities. Economically, he expressed intentions to reduce public debt relative to GDP while maintaining social spending, noting that Brazil’s US$ 370 billion in international reserves provides a significant cushion that prevents ‘panic’ regarding the debt. Additionally, he voiced support for the prohibition of fixed-odds betting to mitigate rising levels of family debt. ## Claims - The president advocates for the abolition of the Special Campaign Financing Fund (FEFC).
