“I think Lula really wants to get things done”

According to the actress, the Church has such authority in Brazil, that it is able to influence the laws of the country. In the fall of 2022, Lula succeeded right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro. “I think Lula really wants to get things done” indicates Ayomi Domenico Dias, who nevertheless specifies that “Lula doesn’t have that much power”. Indeed, in Brazil, the laws go through “many steps” before being voted on. In the meantime, for the actress, women must “keep fighting” in Brazil or elsewhere in other countries.
