Businessman Luiz Eduardo Estevao Lira will enter politics. He will join the People’s Party next Wednesday (11/19) with the aim of building a bridge between youth and decisions that affect the entire society.
Luiz Eduardo will head the Progressive Youth Group to train leaders and expand the electoral base. With a strong family history as he is the grandson of two former senators (Luis Estevao and Raymundo Lira), the newcomer says he will advocate policies that generate consistent results and change people’s lives, through training, job opportunities and investment in improvements in various areas, such as health, sports and culture.
“I intend to contribute to better development and be a bridge between young people and the decisions that shape our daily lives,” Luiz said. This means advocating for policies that really impact people’s lives, such as more opportunities for young people in the labor market, and investments in education, technology, sports, culture and entrepreneurship. My focus will be on efficiency and results, and working to bring citizens closer to politics. I will demand transparency and propose solutions to problems we already know well. I believe that our role is to listen, understand and act.” Eduardo.
Deputy Governor of the Federal District and President of the PP-DF, Celina Liao, said that Luiz Eduardo arrives at the ceremony “with a great will to work.” “Luis Eduardo wants to make a difference in people’s lives. I believe he truly has a calling for that. He left his comfortable home and came with great humility to understand politics and how to achieve positive results for a better world. I am sure he will have a bright future, because he has the humility to learn and the desire to help those who need it most,” he declared.
A new generation in politics
For the entrepreneur, youth have an essential role to play in building innovative policy that can transform the present and ensure a better future. “We are a generation that has grown up connected, informed and aware of the changes that the future requires,” he said.
“I see three ways in which young people can transform politics: real participation, occupying spaces within parties, movements and institutions; leadership, bringing modern themes, such as innovation, sustainability and technology; and becoming an example and showing that it is possible to do politics with ethics, preparation and purpose, without repeating the mistakes of the past,” he declared.
The new member of the People’s Party wants the party’s youth to be “recognized not only as a space for political formation, but also as a movement of action, innovation and hope.”
He said: “My expectations when joining the People’s Party, at the beginning of my political career, were to pave the way for active and responsible participation in building the federal district that I believe in. I see this membership as a commitment, not only with the party, but with the people who expect a more efficient, transparent and present politics.”
