Thekabarnews.com—Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was in Barcelona for an international meeting on April 18, 2026. In a scorching attack, he blasted the world leadership. He also called on the big powers of the world to assume their responsibility for the current issues. These issues include the war in Iran.
At the IV Meeting in Defense of Democracy, Lula asked the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to rethink their policies. They are unable to stop the escalation of violence.
Although he didn’t name anyone, other international outlets interpreted his statements as targeting Donald Trump.
“We cannot wake up every morning and go to bed every night with a tweet from a president threatening the world and declaring wars,” Lula stated.
He urged the UN Security Council to play its role in the maintenance of international peace and security, stating, “Stop this madness of war because the world cannot take up any more wars.
Many foreign leaders attended the summit called by Pedro Sánchez. These included Claudia Sheinbaum, Cyril Ramaphosa, Gustavo Petro, and representatives of the UK and Germany.
Later that day, hundreds gathered for the first-ever Global Progressive Mobilization meeting. It featured some 6,000 elected officials, policy experts, and activists. The assembly stressed the increasing cooperation of progressive political forces across the world.
Germany’s finance minister Lars Klingbeil stressed the necessity of worldwide cooperation.
“If the far right is going to organize internationally, the left has got to organize globally,” he said.
Also among the lecturers at the meeting were Chris Murphy and Tim Walz. Moreover, Murphy was more forthright in his criticism of Trump’s leadership style. He pointed to recent political events in Europe, including the fall of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at the polls, as an indication of political change.
Lula’s statements reflect a rising discontent among world leaders with the incapacity of international institutions to deal adequately with problems.
The call for reform of the UN Security Council has been articulated in a context of growing concern about the volatility of global geopolitics. There are also worries about the limitations of current global governance mechanisms.
There are still tensions in parts of the world, especially the Middle East. Furthermore, Lula’s message is a broader call for more multilateral cooperation. It is also a call for a return to a focus on diplomacy to solve global challenges.
