Leader of the ruralist group praises Lula’s speech – 06/06/2023 – Panel

President of the Parliamentary Front for Agriculture, Deputy Pedro Lupion (PP-PR) made a rare compliment to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) for his speech at the opening of the Bahia Farm Show, in Luís Eduardo Magalhães (BA).

“For the first time he made a positive signal to the agro, showing respect for the sector”, said the ruralist leader, a group that is generally critical of the president.

Lupion also said that it was positive that Lula had promised a “robust” Harvest Plan for this year. The agribusiness caucus intends to meet with the government’s economic team next week to address the issue.

During the visit, Lula made nods to the agro, defending conciliation between small and large farmers. The president has had recent clashes with the sector, even calling some rural leaders part of fascists. There was also discomfort with the fact that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) was invited to the opening of Agrishow, in Ribeirão Preto (SP).
