Brazil thread 2023-

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

New MDA/CNT poll measured evaluation of the government, its approval and also the one of multiple public political figures.

Lula’s Government EVALUATION:

Great - 15,9%
Good - 24,7%
Regular (Means neither Good or Bad, just Average) - 30,1%
Bad - 8,3%
Awful - 18,9%

Over 40% of people saying Good or Great, less than 30% saying Bad or Awful.
Not bad for Lula at all.

Lula is in big trouble if he continues with his anti Israel rhetoric in a society that 80% support Israel. The fact that this russophile thug won the election running under so many despised platforms in Brazil makes me think fraud was needed to let him win.

Lmao at 80% of Brazil.

Bb, I guarantee you most Brazilians simply don’t care. Not just about Israel/Palestine, but literally about any conflict going on far from our living sphere. Brazilians are extremely insular people and self-immersed culturally.

Only exception may be hardline evangelicals or something, who seem in love with Israel but are already socially discredit by intelectual elites who naturally see them as insane and radicalized.

What Lula says about Israel is no different than what EVERYBODY in third world is currently saying btw. However, it feels more threatening exactly because westerners recognize Lula’s influence and greatness as a global leadership, which adds power to the global south voice.

Brazil is America's South American cousin. We have so much in common.

Yes, why? France, in theory at least, has been the best European partner for Brazil since at least previous Lula’s governments and the unexpected Lula-Sarkozy friendship.

Lula even committed a silly gaffe and called Macron “Sarkozy” in an Anazon event, which led to some ill-intentioned people to say that Lula is becoming senile.

He began his visit in Belém do Pará (local of these Amazônia forest romance pics), where he and Lula announced an investment program of 1 Billion Euros in the Bioeconomy of the Amazon Forest of Brazil and (French) Guyana.

He also went to Itaguaí in Rio de Janeiro to inaugurate the Brazilian military submarine, made from a Brazil-France partnership. Macron supported there technology cooperation to develop Brazil’s (and Latin America’s) 1st nuclear submarine as well, in order to guarantee peace.

He participated in an Industry event in São Paulo too and I didn’t read much about it, only that he criticized the Mercosul - UE deal as bad for both sides. France has been the main actor stopping the deal due to being a more economically protectionist country in Europe, as opposed to Germany for example.

Ok I will admit that it was a bit shallow jumping right to laughing so rapidly. It's nice to see wholesome things of great substance were achieved.
Thanks for the rundown.
