Senator said the petista ‘was fast’ in condemning Israel’s attack to Iran, but ‘continues to pass cloth’ to Russia in the conflict with Ukraine
The Senator (Republicans-RS) used his social networks on Saturday (14) to harshly criticize the position of the Brazilian government in the face of Israel’s attack on Iran. The parliamentarian accused the president of exercising a “selective diplomacy” and maintaining a contradictory stance regarding international conflicts. Typical action of selective diplomacy, as it continues to pass the cloth for the invasion of the hair, ”wrote Mourão, referring to Itamaraty’s position on the recent episode in the Middle East.
Critically, the former vice president also commented on Brazil’s approach to authoritarian regimes, mentioning the possible coming of Vladimir Putin to Brazil for the BRICS summit, scheduled for July, in Rio de Janeiro. “It’s waiting for the ‘companion’ Putin visit […] Hypocrisy! ”, He shot. According to Mourão, the Lula government would be distancing itself from the“ democratic values ”and what it called the“ spirit of Western civilization ”.
He also accused the president of “admiring autocracies” for defending regimes such as Iran and Russia, to the detriment of traditional Western allies. The publication rekindles the debate on the role of Brazil in foreign policy under the current management. Since the beginning of his third term, Lula has defended multilateral diplomacy and the pursuit of peace through dialogue, but has been the target of criticism of opponents for not openly condemning actions by Moscow and Tehran. To date, the Planalto Palace has not spoken out about the senator’s statements.
