Don’t let the far right win

Although he did not mention former president Mauricio Macri or libertarian groups such as the one chaired by Javier Milei, he made clear his rejection of the opposition.

“I don’t like to talk about the politics of another country, the only thing I can say is that when Alberto won the elections in Argentina I was very happy,” da Silva replied when asked by Noticias Argentinas, and added to the head of Argentine State: “I don’t know if he will be a candidate for the elections or not, I don’t know how many candidates will contest the elections, the only thing I hope is that Argentina does not allow the extreme right to win the elections.”

In the same line, the leader of the PT assured that “the extreme right did not work in any country that it governed”and sent a message to the “Argentine people” so that, using “your intelligence, do not allow a disaster here at the electoral level” in the presidential elections that will take place this year.

From the White Room, da Silva took the opportunity to apologize for the criticism of his predecessor in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, against Alberto Fernandez, and assured that he will work to strengthen the relationship between the two nations.

“I want to tell you that I apologize to the Argentine people for all the rudeness that the previous president of Brazil (Jair Bosonaro), who I say is a genocide, for all the offenses he said to Alberto Fernández”raised.

For his part, Fernández assured that both nations share common objectives, and compared former presidents Bolsonaro and Macri: “They continue to link us to the same problems and needs. Bolsonaro passed through Brazil and (Mauricio) Macri passed through Argentina. The challenges we have are very similar.”

In the joint declaration signed by both nations, made up of 16 pages, and agreed upon during the exchange, both leaders agreed on a questioning of Justice: “They highlighted the irreplaceable role that judicial institutions have in their constitutional systems as a guarantee of the rights of people against persecution for political reasons and lawfare”, reads one of the joint paragraphs.

“We need to build friends, partners and that is why I want to affirm, Alberto Fernández, my friend and president of Argentina, Brazil is once again with open arms to welcome the Argentine comrades,” said the PT leader.

Lastly, and in his turn, the head of CELAC made reference to the incidents carried out in Brasilia by Bolsonaro sympathizers after Lula’s inauguration and defended the institutions.

“I want you to know that from Argentina we will always be by your side, but we are not going to let any delusional attack on democracy and the institutions of Brazil. We are not going to let any fascist attack popular sovereignty,” the President concluded. .
