Asked by CNN In a press conference, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), said this Wednesday (26) that he requested information on the situation in Bolivia, which, according to President Luis Arce, is suffering an attempted coup d’état.
“I want information, so I asked Minister Mauro to call Bolivia, call the president, call the Brazilian ambassador, so we can be sure, so we can have a position,” said Lula.
“As I am a lover of democracy, I want democracy to prevail in Latin America. The coup never worked”, the Brazilian leader added.
Later, in a post on social media, Lula condemned the attempted coup in the South American country.
“Brazil’s position is clear. I am a lover of democracy and I want it to prevail throughout Latin America,” she said.
“We condemn any form of coup d’état in Bolivia and reaffirm our commitment to the people and democracy in the sister country presided over by Luis Arce”, he added.
