Cara to Cara Lula-Trump is the good multilateralism against imperial senility
There is no patriotic or easy contrast here, but the truth is that we saw two -natures leaders to speak in the UN: one defended multilateralism as a condition for development and peace: Lula. The other, Trump, treated his own country as the center of the universe and even threatened the person who took care of Teleprompter.
One recalled that there are still 670 million hungry worldwide and 2.3 billion people living in food insecurity; The other pointed to immigration as the central problem of the nations and spoke of deporting, arresting and sending people to an “even further” place. Yes, Trump decided to use death as an euphemism.
Lula preached the need for rich countries to demonstrate their commitment to reduced carbon emissions, including announcing Brazil’s goal in this area. Trump treated as idiots those who care about the subject, proud of having left the Paris agreement and was still ironic with Europe, which would have worried about this theme and, therefore, has a more expensive energy than produced in his country. It made its conceptual north clear in this area: energy is to give money, not to spend. With such a border, guess what happens to the environment …
Lula praised democracy and freedom; Trump applauded an abject tiratete like Nayib Bukele for offering El Salvador as a prison of US immigration policy. One embraced science, reason, the facts; The other to mystification, impressionism and pathetic self -promotion: “I was right about everything!”
I will still return to details of the speech of the Brazilian President. It made it clear that the sovereignty of the country that rules is not in negotiation. It didn’t mention either Trump or the US, but it was to the point:
“Even under unprecedented attack, Brazil chose to resist and defend its democracy,
Reconquited for forty years ago by his people, after two decades of dictatorial governments. There is no justification for unilateral and arbitrary measures against our institutions and our economy. Aggression against the independence of the judiciary is unacceptable. This internal affairs interference has the help of a subservient and late right right of ancient hegemonies. “
Trump could not ignore the Brazilian’s speech in his “egotrip” self -concutulatory. He referred to the nonexistent persecution of opponents that would be here; lied about unfair commercial practices in Brazil – which has a deficit with the US, not surplus; He said that our country can be ill if it does not negotiate … lies and bravado. But there is an unequivocal fact: whatever the backstage, it was him, in the eyes of the world, to ask Lula a conversation. Or did anyone have seen the man born in Garanhuns asking for a bore or bust?
