Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has expressed concerns about the state of democracy following a surge in far-right votes in the European Parliament elections. Speaking on Thursday at FIIKSA, Lula emphasized that democracy is at risk, highlighting the denial of institutions such as Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Judiciary by right-wing factions. Additionally, Lula underscored the importance of BRICS in bolstering Brazil's economy and criticized the role of artificial intelligence created by wealthy nations, suggesting it is used to manipulate humanity. He called upon the UN and the ILO to develop separate technology for the global south.
