Brazil has the will, and Portugal wants it. Hunger and the desire to eat come together. It is true that the procession still goes to the churchyard, but the two brother countries love each other as if the saint were already at the altar.
Does S. Lula da Silva still pray in Lisbon before January?
THE Sheet ruled the possibility of this trip. In the president’s court, no one confirms it, but no one denies it. On the way to Cairo, stopover in Lisbon. Beautiful thing, good thing. The wills live there.
Advisers, consultants, friends and lobbyists. All on the Atlantic Bridge. Four years of separation left those homesickness that we only know we have because we feel them, like for boyfriends when they leave us. PT, former PT members, mayors, governors, other articulators. This is the time for Brazil to strategically look at the world through that Portuguese-speaking country in Europe.
History is written like this. Nobody knows how it starts, it creeps in slowly until —without anyone seeing when—it becomes a trend. Then it becomes a cause that everyone wants to join. And it’s religion. This Brazilian appetite for Portugal works miracles. It makes Google change its mind and the most radical supporters of Bolsonaro want to live in a country ruled by a left-wing majority, where drug consumption is decriminalized and abortion is an inalienable right for women.
In less than a decade, the perception of Portugal has changed radically, and Brazilians, Brazilians and Brazilians of all classes, cults, clubs, creeds and genders choose Lisbon as a social and business platform. Very relevant personalities of the next power in Brasilia — putative ministers, appointed secretaries, doctors of all kinds — have in Portugal, today, RG and passport. Full address, parking space and, without leaving anything to chance, are already citizens of Lisbon.
Those who know the last names know that the week after the election was a riot in the Portuguese capital’s restaurants. Carla asking me to welcome Zé, who was going to stay there for a few days before going to Paris. Zé had a welcome dinner with Jorge, but his life got complicated because he didn’t leave his cell phone with Brazil.
Ricardo “perfectly” aware of the opportunity also had dinner with Zé after meeting Portuguese businessmen and investors at Raimundo’s house for a breakfast full of energy and good deals, arrows of satisfaction. Michael and Marta and Clovis and JP and Tatá. Things that life gives.
The journey that begins today will be a long one, full of penances and via the sacra, but it is very charming. Because traveling has become a condition, and mobility is no longer just a possibility and a critical condition for success. Paradigm of progress, today the world is transit.
