Minister Luiz Dulci, one of the founders of the Brazilian Workers Party (PT), is
currently among the closest advisors to President Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva.
He is responsible for the political dialogue between the government and civil
society, both nationally and internationally. Minister Dulci was a trade union
leader in education in Rio de Janeiro and in Minas Gerais. Along with Lula and
others, he was one of the coordinators of the movement that led to the
foundation, in 1983, of Brazils largest trade union confederation, the CUT. In
addition to serving as an elected federal deputy, Minister Dulci has held
several important roles within the PT, including at the Fundação Perseu Abramo,
the PTs research foundation, and with the municipal government of Belo
Horizonte. Minister Dulci is also a literary critic and authored the following
works: "Sergio Buarque de Holanda e o Brasil"; "Desafios das
Administrações
Petistas"; "Desafios do Governo Local"; "Antonio Cândido: Pensamento
e
Militância."
This talk will be in Portuguese with simultaneous translation provided by Sergio
Ferreira, official interpreter and special adviser to President Lula, via
special headphones/interpretation equipment.
