President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) intends to talk to Pope Francis about social issues and the war in Ukraine. The matters will be dealt with in the call that the Brazilian will make to the pontiff this Wednesday morning (31). The conversation is scheduled for 10 am.
Lula should address social issues, inequality, the fight against hunger and even climate change.
The agenda also includes discussion on Brazil’s attempt to lead a peace club to negotiate an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Pope Francis said at the end of April that the Holy See is involved in a peace mission.
Lula and the pope were together for the last time in February 2020 at the Vatican. In an interview with Argentine TV, at the end of March this year, Francis again stated that the Brazilian president was convicted and arrested in 2018, without concrete evidence.
The pontiff considered the impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff, in 2016, to be unfair, whom he called an “excellent woman”.
