Podcast: Without mentioning Milei, Lula says he doesn’t have to be friends with presidents

“I don’t have to like the president of Chile, Argentina, Venezuela. He doesn’t have to be my friend. He has to be president of the country, I have to be president of my country. We have to have Brazilian state policy and he has his state policy. We have to sit at the table, each one defending their interests”, declared President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) this Tuesday (21).

The president spoke at a graduation ceremony for new Itamaraty diplomats, in Brasília. “We have to reach an agreement. This is the art of democracy. It’s up to us to reach an agreement”, added Lula.
