Lula proposes popular-finance office if re-elected
Brazilian President and re-election candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva proposed a new office for popular finances during a live online broadcast.
He said the office would help people manage their money and that the state should take responsibility for providing guidance.
Lula suggested digital influencer Nath Finanças could take part in the possible office.
The proposal depends on Lula winning re-election, and no further details about how the office would work were given.
