The fight with Trump and Milei gives wings to Lula's re-election in Brazil
Las injerencias externas refuerzan el discurso nacionalista del presidente brasileño en su disputa electoral con el clan Bolsonaro
Just weeks before Brazilians head to the polls, 80-year-old President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is waging a lone battle against the main representatives of American far-right, starting with Donald Trump. In a matter of days, diplomatic crises have piled up with the US President and with Argentinean Javier Milei: sanctions, tariffs and diplomatic snubs from the north; insults and slights from the neighboring country.
Lula is working these days to turn the crises into arguments in defense of national sovereignty, and above all to make it clear to public opinion that the attacks on Brazil have a perpetrator at home: Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of the former president and his main rival in the elections to be held in October.
