In the wake of the disclosure of the government plan, one of the most read texts on the American Bloomberg website over the weekend was an interview with former minister Fernando Haddad, with the so-called “Lula will boost the real with a credibility shock, says advisor “.
Haddad says that “Brazil urgently needs to regain investor confidence and Lula has the ability to get the economy back on track”, adding:
“A change of government in itself will bring the necessary new wind for a calmer first year of government, when we will need to approve measures to land this plane that is flying without a pilot.”
With the left on the rise in Latin America, Haddad sees Lula in “a privileged position to reinsert Brazil’s influence among its neighbors” and on the “international scene”.
In the same direction, the Chinese portal Guancha, which did an interview with the former president last year, highlighted an extensive profile over the weekend, with the so-called “Lula’s return wants to make Brazil a protagonist again on the world stage”. (above).
The text underlines that he says he does not hold “resentments” for his imprisonment and, from there, reports “the countless difficulties, ups and downs, love and hate, which tell us how Lula was forged.”
Then he focuses on what the former president promises in foreign policy: cooperation in Latin America and with the BRICS countries, aiming at “a new model of global governance”.
Guancha hears from Zhou Zhiwei, a Brazil expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, that “Lula is well versed in diplomacy, still the most influential politician in Brazil.”
And the Argentine La Nación published over the weekend that “The left in the region is excited about a new integration with Lula da Silva at the helm.” Just below, “There is consensus that the experienced Lula would be the natural leader in strengthening regional ties.”
BOLSONARO THERE
The Financial Times, on the other hand, published the report “How far will Bolsonaro go to be reelected?”, emphasizing that “he is sowing the idea of electoral fraud”. One of those who most demanded Lula’s platform, the financial newspaper has not yet addressed it.
Also more attentive to Bolsonaro, the Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece by John R. Lott Jr., an advocate for the US arms industry (pictured above). In the headline, “More legal weapons reduced crime in Brazil”, citing a drop in homicides.
The Brazilian is presented as a role model for Joe Biden and New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who resist guns. “The media and gun control advocates were wrong about Brazil. Biden and Hochul should take note.”
