en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Workers' Party) stated at the resumption ceremony of Petrobras' nitrogen fertilizer plant UFN 3 project on June 25 that some agricultural practitioners oppose the idea of building fertilizer plants in Brazil. He pointed out that due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, Brazil is currently importing fertilizers at "absurd prices," and the high cost of these inputs further exacerbates food inflation.

At the ceremony announcing the resumption of operations in Três Lagoas (Mato Grosso do Sul), Lula emphasized the strategic importance of Petrobras' project, which will boost domestic fertilizer production, strengthen food security, and reduce external dependence. He stated that Brazil will achieve the goal of producing at least 70% of the fertilizers used by its farmers domestically, adding that "a country can never be a sovereign nation if it does not produce the main products it consumes." Since the U.S. government imposed tariffs, safeguarding Brazil's sovereignty has become one of the main topics in Lula's speeches.

Lula also extended his remarks to artificial intelligence and social media. He described AI as a "monster," expressing concern that it might self-regulate beyond human knowledge, and referenced science fiction films where machines control humans, suggesting that the day when AI no longer needs humans is approaching. He stated, "I prefer dealing with human intelligence. We cannot become algorithms."
