"When we discovered the pre-salt reserves, the oil was ours. Now, that's going to end," says Lula.

Former President Lula criticized the actions of the Temer government against the national oil industry and in favor of international oil companies; "When we discovered the pre-salt reserves, we approved the sharing law that said the oil is ours. They are going to end that. We approved a law that dedicated 75% of royalties to education. They are going to end that. That's what you have to worry about," he told students during a visit this Thursday, the 26th, to the Salinas field of the Federal Institute of Northern Minas Gerais; in another speech given earlier in Coronel Murta, where he received a blessing from Índia Benvina Pankararu, Lula highlighted that "yesterday's vote for Temer cost 12 billion, money that is lacking for investments in the country and for rural pensions."

Minas 247 - Former President Lula criticized on Thursday, the 26th, the actions of the Temer government against the national oil industry and in favor of international oil companies.

"When we discovered the pre-salt reserves, we approved the sharing law that said the oil is ours. They're going to end that. We approved a law that dedicated 75% of the royalties to education. They're going to end that. That's what you have to worry about," he told students during a visit to the Salinas field of the Federal Institute of Northern Minas Gerais.

"I am very concerned because the progress we have had in the last 12 years is still far from ideal. And they are dismantling it," he added. "Either we believe in education and make real investments, or we don't have it. All the cities that received federal institutes or universities generated jobs and trained other educators," he reinforced.

She emphasized the importance of the PT (Workers' Party) for the 2018 elections. According to Lula, the party "has a legacy that allows us to talk about the future." "This legacy gives the PT the right to claim the chance to govern this country," he stated. "I would love for the PT to have 10 or 15 leaders 30 years younger and much better than me," he added.

In another speech given earlier today in the city of Coronel Murta, the former president highlighted that "yesterday's vote for Temer cost 12 billion, money that is lacking for investments in the country and for rural pensions." There, he received a blessing from Índia Benvina Pankararu, the same woman who blessed him before the campaign in which he was first elected.
