The Government (PT) should respond to the magazine after the publication, in a report published over the weekend.
According to reports of three people accompanying conversations, the need for a government demonstration was discussed at meetings at the Planalto Palace on Monday (30). Lula’s first appointment was an audience with the chancellor, according to the official agenda.
An interlocutor of the petista says the idea is that this answer will be given as soon as possible. He states that it will be up to conduct this process. According to someone who follows the discussions, Mauro Vieira must send a letter to the direction of the publication by rebutting the criticism.
The report of the prestigious British magazine with criticism of Lula became ammunition for political opponents to attack the petista. In a publication on social networks, Senator (-RJ), the eldest son of the former president (PL), said that the magazine “humiliates Lula” and is time for the president to “leave”.
“You can no longer occupy the most important position in the country. Enough,” he wrote.
The senator (União Brasil-PR) shared the report on social networks and wrote that the magazine is “giving the real about Lula”.
In the report, the magazine says that the positioning of Itamaraty that condemned the attacks of Iran’s nuclear facilities was against what other western democracies said about the subject.
Economist also states that Lula’s Brazil, by engaging in a BRICS block strongly influenced by China and Russia’s agendas, adopts attitudes that look more and more “hostile to the West.”
“The role of Brazil at the center of an expanded BRICS dominated by a more authoritarian regime is part of Lula’s increasingly inconsistent foreign policy,” the magazine says.
Also cited are other episodes of Lula’s foreign policy, such as the lack of dialogue with the government in the United States, and the visit to Moscow to participate in the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat – the celebration led by Vladimir Putin was attended by authoritarian leaders who antagonize western powers.
There are still criticism in the internal field. Economist mentions Lula’s drop in popularity. It also highlights the vote in Congress that overturned a presidential decree that provided for an increase in, a fact that showed fragility in the relationship with executive with Congress.
