"Since we had an enormous amount of public policies that had worked, we decided to recreate them to be able to launch as of July 2 a great program of works for national development, with infrastructure works in all areas," Lula said.
His statements came on the program "Conversation with the President," of the state-owned Empresa Brasil de Comunicação.
According to the government, the program intends to contain six pillars: transport, urban infrastructure, social equipment, water, communications and energy.
I am very satisfied with our first months in office. We are combining domestic and international travel. And we are going to keep working hard, because people want jobs, access to culture, leisure. And we are going to deliver the country better than we did in 2010.
On the occasion, Lula also said that his Administration demands that the popular housing program "My House, My Life" reach the Brazilian middle class.
"We will have to think about all segments of society so that people feel that the Government has taken them into account," said the Brazilian President.
Lula da Silva expressed his satisfaction with the work done since he took office last January 1. However, he said: "we have to do much more than what we have done in any other mandate because we have to rebuild Brazil."
