By Fernando Brito, from brick - Former President Lula met yesterday afternoon in São Paulo with former collaborators, pension experts, and union leaders to delve deeper into the debate surrounding the pension reform proposed by Michel Temer.
Lula knows that the issue will generate mobilizations throughout the country and is preparing to travel the country in January under the banner of defending retirement benefits, both in large cities and in the countryside, where the proposed new rules would mean ending protection for rural workers.
At the meeting, according to one of those present, the former president said that "the proposal sent by the Temer government, in the 21st century, means taking the worker back to the 19th century, in a return to slavery."
Those who attended the meeting say the former president is applying the brakes to start touring the country.
