Lula WEEPS at Palace: “I Was Too Ashamed to Say I Was Hungry” | Times Now World

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva broke down in tears on Tuesday as he recounted his hunger-stricken childhood, following Brazil’s removal from the United Nations’ Hunger Map. Speaking at the Planalto Palace, Lula described the milestone as a deeply personal victory, sharing memories of his youth when he first tasted bread at age seven and hid his hunger from co-workers. Brazil’s undernourishment rate has fallen below 2.5% on average for 2022–2024, according to UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data, signalling significant progress in public policy on food security. Lula’s emotional speech quickly went viral, symbolising the country’s fight against poverty. #lula, #brazil, #hungermap, #poverty, #emotionalspeech, #unitednations, #fao, #brazilnews, #breakingnews, #lulanews, #foodsecurity, #socialjustice, #brazilpolitics, #viralnews, #inspiration, #presidentlula, #fromhungertohonor, #trendingnews #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
