Special Report:Global Financial Crisis
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 5 (Chinese media) -- Brazilian
President Luiz Inacio da Silva said on Thursday his mission is to boost the
people's confidence and lead them to overcome difficulties amid the global
financial crisis.
"My role is to boost the people's morale," Lula said
as he opened a hydroelectric plant in central Brazil's Tocantins state.
Noting that the reach and duration of the crisis have
yet to be measured, the president reaffirmed that Brazil will suffer less than
other countries because of the stability of the Brazilian economy and its
regulated productive sector.
Lula encouraged the people of the nation to "work
more and be more daring" in a situation "comparable with a wartime."
While admitting the difficulties of finding a
solution to the crisis, he urged the U.S. and European governments to take
urgent measures to fight against its impacts.
Lula is highly popular in Brazil. In the latest
survey last week, his personal approval rating stood as high as 84 percent and
the support rate of his administration remained at 72.5 percent.
