Lula criticizes the President of Chile and calls him a hasty young man

In an undiplomatic and unusual stance among allied heads of state, Brazilian President Lula da Silva this Wednesday criticized Chilean President Gabriel Boric for advocating a tougher stance on Russia, whose President Vladimir Putin, a seasoned Brazilian politician, is a friend. Lula da Silva, 77, appreciated that 37-year-old Boric is very young and inexperienced, and therefore in a hurry.

“Perhaps the lack of habit of participating in these meetings (Borich is in his first term as head of state) makes the young man more thirsty, more hasty, but this was the most mature meeting I participated in between Latin America and Europe. Union, a reasonable document has been reached that is interesting for the whole world. I already had the impulse of Boric. In my first term, I went to G-7 meetings and wanted issues to be resolved there, but you need to understand that not everyone is in a hurry, “Lula said in Brussels, Belgium, at the press conference that ended the summit between the European Union and CELAC, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, which, along with common points, dealt with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Considered a symbol of Latin America’s new left, more moderate and more democratic, Gabriel Boric has recently been involved in other clashes with the Brazilian veteran, who has shown himself to be more radical than in his previous two terms, between 2003 and 2010. now openly defending dictatorships like those in Venezuela, Cuba and even bloody Nicaragua, and criticizing the sanctions the world has imposed on Russia for invading Ukraine last February, starting a war that scares the world and changes Europe . Boric, who told a summit in Belgium that if Russia doesn’t get tougher every other country after Ukraine could be invaded, defends tougher sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s government, while Lula criticizes sanctions. against Moscow and has already said that Ukraine is just as guilty of the war as Russia.

A few weeks ago, Borić, who at the time was backed by Uruguayan Presidents Lacalle Paula and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, had already antagonized Lula during a meeting of South American Presidents in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia, at the time due to strong support expressed by the Brazilian to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro . Lula, who called Maduro a “friend of decades” and a “brother”, treated the Venezuelan in Brazil with special attention, while Boric, Paul and Petro were so annoyed and annoyed that they publicly declared that Venezuela really lives under a bloodthirsty dictatorship. , and that Maduro is responsible for many serious crimes, leaving Lulu isolated and confused.
