Dilma’s tenure at the Brics bank should be maintained, even with Lula’s trip canceled

The inauguration ceremony of former president Dilma Rousseff at the head of the New Development Bank (NBD), the bank of the Brics, in Shanghai, should be maintained, despite the cancellation of Lula’s trip to China, due to the diagnosis of pneumonia .

Sources linked to the government claim that Dilma should take office anyway. The forecast was that the entourage would go to Beijing, where Lula would have as his main agenda the meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 28th, and then proceed to Shanghai, where the headquarters of the Brics bank is located, for the inauguration ceremony of the former -president, scheduled for the 29th.

People linked to the Brics bank claim that Dilma’s inauguration and Lula’s visit are separate agendas. If the inauguration is postponed indefinitely, because it is not yet known when Lula will reschedule the trip, the signaling could be negative, after all, there are only two years of Brazil’s mandate at the head of the institution.

Dilma would board Lula on the presidential plane. A CNN tried to get in touch with the ex-president’s advisory to check if boarding the plane remains, but did not get a response.
