Brazil's President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, claimed national sovereignty on Sunday, the eve of Independence Day. The head of state thus returned to one of the main themes of his political campaign.
The reference to sovereignty comes at a time when there are trade pressures from the United States on Brazil. The theme of the country's independence and self-determination thus gains greater relevance in the context of international trade relations.
This speech takes place on the day before Brazil's Independence Day, a symbolic date that celebrates the proclamation of the country's independence in 1822. The occasion reinforces the message of defense of national interests.
