The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, claimed national sovereignty on Sunday, the eve of Independence Day. The theme is part of one of the main flags of his political campaign.
The reference was made in a context of trade pressures from the United States. Lula thus sought to reaffirm Brazil's autonomy in international trade relations.
The declaration took place at a symbolic moment, on the day before the celebration of Brazilian independence, reinforcing the narrative of defense of national interests.
