On 28 January 2007 the Lula government launched the Growth Acceleration Programme, a dated infrastructure-and-credit package.

Context

BNDES and ministries implemented. Neighbouring Minha Casa is 2009. He did not pour every tonne of concrete.

2006 reelection is the parent. Minha Casa 2009 is a child housing file.

The President of Brazil heads the federal executive, sanctions statutes, and commands the armed forces as a political principal. He does not write STF judgments, INPE satellite pixels, a US tariff proclamation, or a Venezuelan CNE tally. Congress, governors, Petrobras, and coalition partners share specific files.

Why it matters

The path is industrial-policy activism and public-debt: a completed investment package is mixed. Primary sign here is improving industrial activism, with a fiscal FDI.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

What the sources establish

Presidency of Brazil carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: 28 January 2007 PAC launch, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later GDP coefficient from that Sunday, or that every later unfinished work was this slide.

Ministries and BNDES implemented. Contractors built. Later governments inherited unfinished works.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Lula launches the Growth Acceleration Programme (PAC), not a later speech about Lula launches the Growth Acceleration Programme (PAC).

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He launched PAC. Ministries and BNDES implemented. Contractors built. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
