Supporters talk about working days and fear of violence. Planalto, in turn, says that the event is aimed at leaders and is not a mass event, while PT organizers claim that the action will be “lively”.
Difficulty in mobilization
Government members and PT members already assume that there should not be much social participation. Government and PT members have sent invitations and group images calling people “with their families” to the event. Lula, for example, demanded the presence of all ministers, which caused some to interrupt their vacations in the middle.
The response has not been as expected. Base parties and movements, such as MST (Landless Rural Workers Movement) and CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores), entered the field to summon their militants and obtain means of transport. This includes closer states and cities, such as Goiás, with bus and van rentals to take interested parties to Brasília.
As Lula goes, the presence of a relevant audience is crucial. At the start of the second half of the term, knocking on the door of 2026, there is a unanimous assessment that it is not possible to hold a public event, with a call for members and activists, that will not be full.
This was the act that the government called upon itself. Last year, when it marked one year of the depredation, there was a more symbolic event, promoted by the National Congress, with the presence of the three Powers. Even though he was a central figure, Lula participated as a guest. Now, you will be the host.
