During the celebration of the 46th anniversary of the Workers' Party (PT) in Salvador, President Lula took the opportunity to openly address the party's internal conflicts and urge unity ahead of the upcoming elections. He underscored the need for strategic alliances, stating that the PT is not as strong as it might think across all states and emphasized the importance of tactical political agreements to govern the country effectively.

Reflecting on the party's historical roots from the 1980s, Lula highlighted its foundational principles while warning against equating with the right in a politically monetized landscape. He expressed concern over the deterioration of political integrity, noting the financial costs associated with electoral campaigns and urging his party members to reconnect with their historic values rather than succumb to corruption and opportunism.

Lula’s remarks seem aimed at energizing the party's base, reinforcing the message that unity and collective campaigning are imperative for future electoral success. His call to action serves as both a rallying cry to strengthen the PT against its adversaries and a cautionary tale about the current political climate that threatens to undermine the party's legacy and principles.
