The BE coordinator said on Monday that the Brazilian president’s visit has “other criteria” than the war in Ukraine, but said the European Union “needs to push more for peace”, highlighting Russia’s condemnation of the conflict.
Asked if Lula da Silva’s visit to Portugal would be compromised by his statements about the war in Ukraine on Saturday, the bloc’s leader replied that “Portugal’s foreign policy is not guided by such criteria.”
“The arrival of Lula da Silva has a completely different meaning, it is connected with the democratic functioning of the very institutions in Brazil, which is being restored, human rights are valued until the award ceremony itself. [Camões] Chico Buarque, which was canceled because Bolsonaro’s culture was despised, there is a resumption of normal democratic relations between Portugal and Brazil,” said Katarina Martins in Porto on the sidelines of a demonstration of Communist Party workers’ bars.
Katarina Martins recalled that for the European Union, “the beginning of a conversation” about the conflict in Ukraine is a “condemnation of Russia”, but the European Union “needs to insist more on peace, to want peace in Europe.”
“It is also true that we called on the European Union to be more committed to the cause of peace, the European Union took on the subservient role of the United States, it did not have a peace strategy, and we do not need to condemn Russia. to protect the world, and what is missing, it is necessary to protect the world,” he stressed.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ended his visit to the People’s Republic of China on Saturday, defending that the United States should stop “promoting war” in Ukraine and the European Union should “start talking about peace.” “.
In Beijing, Lula da Silva also defended that “the United States should stop encouraging war and start talking about peace, the European Union should start talking about peace.”
