trying to get democratic governments in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru replaced via non-democratic means such as uprisings and install extreme left anti-democratic allies of his (Evo Morales, anybody?). So, clearly, "he's trying to cause trouble". 
Ecuador... rings a bell... wasn't there a coup there a few years ago?
Interesting to see how much Brazilian politics has matured actually; apparently if Da Silva loses re-election due to the corruption scandal, that vaugely centrist guy he thrashed a few years ago would be the most likely to beat him. Not sure if that's accurate or not...
