WARNING!
Do not be fooled by the wolf
dressed in sheep’s clothing. He
wants to privatize public
services. The Federal
Government’s Administrative
Reform proposal will weaken the
Brazilian State. We will revive
the public service with
professional training for public
servants and better use of the
contributors’ money. Only in this
way will we have schools,
hospitals, police services… of
good qualify for all.
Wake up while there is still time,
because the bite of the wolf is
near!!!

FHC the Democratic Transition
FHC: the successor: Luis Inácio Lula da Silva
Lula da Silva:
• Grew up in extreme
poverty
• Raised by single
mother
• Life a “Horatio Alger”
story of social mobility
through hard work
Lula at 3 years old with sister Maria. The clothes and
shoes were loaned to him for the photograph.
Questions:
• What difference, if any, does such a sharp
difference in personal biography make?
• In what ways will Fernando Henrique
Cardoso’s legacy be continued under Lula
da Silva?
• What changes can be expected due to the
change in leadership?
Leadership Traits
• Strength - FHC and Lula are both strong
leaders working in a democratic framework
• Competence - FHC is exceptionally
competent, Lula relies more on advisors
• Communicating Empathy - Lula is
exceptionally good at communicating
empathy, FHC finds it difficult
Bottom Line:
• Lula is continuing FHC’s policies despite
the difference in personal and party
affiliations because they are the right
policies
• Lula is more popular because of his
expressiveness and his personal history
• Lula owes FHC an apology for adopting his
whole program after years of denouncing it
