Venezuela wants Brics to recognize Maduro and traps Lula
Brazil has democratic credentials. In this relationship with Venezuela, Brazil has always behaved responsibly. There was the Barbados agreement, and Brazil has the moral authority to talk about what happened. It is not an invasion of Venezuela’s sovereignty: Maduro agreed to the agreement and then retreated.
Lula suffers a lot of wear and tear in domestic politics with Venezuela. Bolsonarism uses this a lot on social media against Lula and progressive candidates. Maduro did in Venezuela what Bolsonaro wanted to do in Brazil. (…) Venezuela today is a military regime. On the left, it no longer even has the veneer.
Lula should change his position: without the minutes, nothing done with Maduro. Recognize that the relationship is important, that he will not do what Bolsonaro does, he will not close the embassy, and that he will maintain relations with the State of Venezuela, but (say) that he (Lula) does not recognize Maduro’s victory.
The information is already circulating through Brazil’s diplomatic circles, which prepares the president in advance for the “trap” set up by Maduro against him, says Kennedy. For him, Lula should anticipate the Venezuelan’s movement:
If Lula says this before the trip to the BRICS, he will already create a vaccine against Venezuela. He won’t break off relations, but he won’t recognize it. Brazil has no reason to recognize the elections in Venezuela, because the result was rigged. The opposition invested in the process, trusted Brazil, Brazil and other countries were guarantors, and Maduro broke the agreement. This banana peel is set up for Lula in the Brics. He is warned. Fall if you want.
