Lula: I chose to value Brazilian workers
Brasilia, August 27 (Hibya) - Brazilian President Lula da Silva said, in remarks on his government's minimum wage policy, that wages have been increased above the rate of inflation.
Brazilian President Lula da Silva said he reinstated the policy of increasing the real value of the minimum wage in 2023. Lula stated that because the policy had been suspended under the previous government, minimum wage increases had merely compensated for inflation.
Lula said that under his government, the minimum wage has risen by 11.8 percent above inflation and added that the increase in 2027 will also exceed inflation. Lula said, “Because governing means making choices. And I chose to value Brazilian workers.”
