(The Guardian) It's time to reform the UN, says Lula
Lula challenges the current global settlement. “When I was president of Brazil, I said the UN had to advance. I can’t imagine that the UN is directed by the same geopolitical rational of world war two. The world has changed. Continents want to be represented. There’s no explanation why the winners of world war two should be in charge and the directors of the UN security council. The world needs new global governance on the climate issue.”

He adds: “If there’s one thing we need to change on global governance, it’s climate change. Otherwise time goes by, we die and things do not change. It’s with this objective that I came back to unite us. I didn’t come back to do what I did already. I came back to do more. I want to make a fairer world and a more effective humanity. Thank you very much.”

Cheers once again, as he bows to the audience then pauses to have his picture taken with some of them. There is a general starstruck feeling in the room.
 
Great to know and what did the now defunct president Bolsonaro do in his 4 years? Nothing.
