Brazil's Lula asserts national sovereignty

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has made a strong statement asserting national sovereignty and non-interference. Speaking publicly, he declared that Brazil must be allowed to organize itself according to the will of its own society, and that no external power has the right to interfere in that process. He framed this as a universal principle, stating he wants the United States and Germany to organize themselves as they see fit as well. The comments come amid heightened global tensions and US-led interventions in other regions.
