Political Analysis stated that, until 2002, 40% of the rural population in the Northeast did not have electricity. According to the author, Lula created the program Light for All in 2003, bringing electricity to almost 8 million Northeasterners. He said that, with electricity at home, residents were able to purchase appliances and study at night, and that migration to the Southeast has dropped by about 60% since then. He also stated that, without this initiative, the right — which, according to him, governed the country for practically the entire 20th century — would have kept Northeasterners without electricity. #LuzPraTodos #Nordeste #EnergiaElétrica (translated)
