O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva disse nesta terça-feira (22) que a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) vive, desde 2003, seu momento mais crítico. “A ONU está falhando em uma de suas missões mais elevadas: a de livrar a humanidade do flagelo da guerra. Sua credibilidade nunca esteve tão baixa”. “O sentimento que me move hoje é o da indignação”, disse . “A capacidade da ONU de proteger os mais vulneráveis, os que não têm exércitos nem arsenais, nunca foi tão pequena”, completou.

Em sua fala, Lula lembrou que essa é a 10ª vez em que abre o debate geral e, da tribuna, voltou a criticar especificamente o trabalho do Conselho de Segurança da organização. “Somos todos reféns do imobilismo de um Conselho de Segurança que não cumpre o seu papel”, disse. “Em 1946, já na primeira sessão dessa assembleia, o Brasil alertava para o alto preço que a comunidade internacional pagaria pelo direito de veto. Esse vício conferiu às grandes potências o privilégio da insensatez”. Antes do pronunciamento, Lula se reuniu com o secretário-geral da ONU, António Guterres. O presidente brasileiro subiu à tribuna logo no início da sessão, antes do presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump. Na segunda-feira (21), Lula se reuniu, já em Nova York, com o presidente do Uruguai, Yamandú Orsi, com o prefeito de Nova York, Zohran Mamdani, e com o senador americano Bernie Sanders. Após o discurso na assembleia geral da ONU, ele deve deixar Nova York ainda nesta terça-feira. O embarque está previsto para 13h50 no horário local, 14h50 no horário de Brasília, com chegada à capital federal prevista para as 23h40.
