Lula’s Visit to China Means Bad News for America
"The president of Brazil, Lula da Silva is in China as we speak. And this is not getting a lot of attention, there was more attention paid when the French president Macron went to China recently and made some remarkable statements about the fact that Europe should not fully align itself with the United States. By the way, The New York Times sort of retaliated against a Macron by saying he's now very isolated among the Europeans. I suspect this is not true. In fact, it's more likely that Macron is reflecting. Remember, Europe is always had a certain resentment towards the United States, always wanted to maintain a distinctive identity. Always wanted to have your hang together but not but hang separately from the United States. And so Macron, I think, is reflecting what other European leaders are thinking, although maybe not saying so bluntly. But here's Lula da Silva in China and this is part of a Chinese bid to establish real beachheads in Latin and South America. That's the geopolitical significance of it. So what is the number one thing that the Chinese premier Xi wants to achieve with Lula da Silva? It's very obvious. It is basically for Brazil and China to increase the mutual trade. But to do it in the Chinese currency in Chinese and not in U.S. dollars. So the Chinese have been very successful in starting to create an alternative currency. We have the bricks arrangement with Brazil and India and South Africa and China. And so China wants to sort of get that going. And get a flourishing trade between many countries in the world trading with each other and with China, the Chinese want to trade in yen with themselves, of course. That's their currency, but they also want other countries to trade away from the dollars. So they don't mind at the Indians and the malaysians start swapping currencies or trade in something other than the dollar. They prefer to be the yen. But most importantly, they don't want it to be the dollar.

Bolsonaro returns to Brazil after 3-month stint in Florida
"Brazil's former far right populist president returned to his country to seek a new political role after a three month stay in Florida, jair Bolsonaro had left Brazil just before the end of his presidential term. His absence meant he did not hand the presidential sash to his successor Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, who had narrowly won the October election, Bolsonaro's move was a break with tradition, and was followed by a hoard of his supporters storming government buildings a week after Lula took office, seeking to oust the new president from power, some experts believe now that Bolsonaro has returned his first objective will be to rally opposition to luda's governments. However, his aim to reassume political prominence may be obstructed by a series of investigations, including whether he incited the January 8th uprising. I'm Karen Chammas

"When Lewis and asio Lula da Silva, known universally as Lula, was first elected president of Brazil in 2002, it was a great plucky underdog story. Lula, who has a boy sold peanuts on the streets of São Paulo and had little formal schooling who worked his way up through Brazil's trade union movement and who had lost three previous presidential elections had claimed the big prize at last. And he made the most of it. Lula won reelection in 2006 and left office in 2010 only due to term limits, boasting a commendable record in reducing Brazil's poverty and consequently astonishing approval ratings. On New Year's Day, Lula was sworn in for his third term, but the Brazil that elected him and only just last October has changed a great deal and so has he. The country is more divided and more rancorous, a fury most picturesquely demonstrated by immense riots in Brasília earlier this month. And Lula is obviously older. He's 77 and since his first stint in the palacio del varada has endured both treatment for cancer and 580 days in prison on corruption charges later annulled. Can Lula do it again. What ideas does he have about Brazil at home or abroad that he didn't have 20 years ago? And where does he even start? This is the foreign desk. Lula's trying to weed out some of the supporters of Bolsonaro, but we have to recognize too that it did take the federal military to come in and quell the protests. What we saw in Brasília was the breaching of that divide between civilian politics and certainly the state police, military police, but also the military as well. And so I don't want to sound too alarmist, but clearly that wall has been breached into a certain extent. It's not that Bolsonaro is hard right in Louis hard left. As you know, he is very much a pragmatic, and that's why he was a successful president for his two terms. Of course, a few things here and there, you know, he was redistributing money a little bit more, but for business people, it was excellent years Brazil's growing so much. He's

The Left Blames Brazil Uprising on Lack of Social Media Censorship
"When the uprisings began in Brazil take over of the parliament and the court, a number of the federal government buildings, there were immediate comparisons in the U.S. media to January 6th. And when I saw those, I was like, here it comes in no time. You're going to see the U.S. media called for a similar response. In Brazil to what the Biden administration did after January 6th, which is not only the rounding up, the expulsion of the protesters, the going after them. But also demands for a new regime of intensified censorship, shutting down of political opponents, and sure enough, that is happening in Brazil now. Lula da Silva, the new president, hasn't gotten on board with it, but he's, I think, figuring out how he should respond. But here is an article in The Washington Post. Again, this is just so predictable. You could almost write this article. You could almost have artificial intelligence right these kinds of articles. At this point. But here it is, how social media helped drive mayhem in Brazil. And what do they do? They kind of go through Brazilian social media and they point out that there were posts where people said, oh, come to the capitol and they were criticisms made on social media of Alexandra de morais, who's by and large the judge that has been protecting Lula da Silva. In fact, this judge himself seems to have censorship powers in Brazil. He's been shutting down prominent right-wing figures in Brazilian politics, preventing them from being able to post preventing them from being able to speak in public.

The Marxist Wave Sweeping the Globe With Frank Gaffney
"Frank, we're talking about Brazil and you said that there is a kind of a Marxist wave that you think is sweeping across not just South America and Central America, but in some degree, also washing across the United States, how do we explain or understand this? I mean, we lived through when we were somewhat younger men, the collapse of the Soviet Union, Francis fukuyama wrote his book the end of history, basically saying liberal constitutional democracy is now the kind of wave, not just of the future, but of the indefinite future history itself as kind of come to an end. Clearly, that does not seem to be the case, but how do you account for an ideology that has accumulated a record of failure upon failure upon failure, enjoying such political revival and apparent political success? Well, I should be interviewing you on this subject because you've done with your films, among other things in your books, border on this subject than anybody. I guess my take on it is this. There is no limit to the willingness of people to suspend belief based on past experience in the hope that things will be different. If they're made to sound seductive enough. And I think you're right, there's been an unbroken track record of disaster at the hands of marxists. And yet there is this endless appeal to the idea that, well, it was just bad done badly in the past, but we're going to get it right this time. And it'll be fairer for everybody. There will be equity. It will be equal outcomes. Everybody will prosper and so on. It won't happen this time any more than it has in the past, but it has been the single minded purpose of Lula da Silva personally.

It seems that institutionally Lula da Silva has the support of the courts, and I say that because the courts have been a very dismissive of claims of election fraud, a B have actually apparently been complicit in social media censorship in Brazil. This is the topic I want to talk about in more detail. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow. Twitter, for example, has been a major instrument of censorship for the, this is of course before the Elon Musk take over of the Bolsonaro people in Brazil. So the court is on Lula's side, but the army and the military and apparently some of the police are on Bolsonaro's side. Now the police were out in force, apparently intercepting a lot of the protesters. And of course, they did the protesters did need to be evacuated from any government buildings, but there was also the police cracking down on protesters on the street. And so guess what happened, I'm actually looking at a video of this in social media. And that is that when the police began to deploy and force on the street to dispel the crowds, the army put tanks on the street to prevent the police from removing the protesters. So all of this suggests that there's still a volatile situation in Brazil and Lula da Silva has his hands full in dealing with it. Now, Bolsonaro interestingly is in Florida. And apparently a bunch of left wing Democrats would think I'm thinking here of AOC, Ilhan Omar, Joaquin Castro. They're like, we have to extradite them. We have to send them back to Brazil. Well, first of all, Bolsonaro is not under accusation. He didn't call for these protests. In fact, as far as I can tell, he has been relatively quiet and in a sense accepting of the election outcome. I said that because what is Bolsonaro do? He basically backs up and goes to Florida. I also saw somewhere that he is having some health issues and he might even be under healthcare or even in a hospital in Florida. Nevertheless, these claims were extradition seemed to me absurd. There are no criminal charges or charges of any kind as far as I know against Bolsonaro. Now, Lula da Silva, a very bad guy. Not only is this guy a far leftist buddy of Castro, buddy of Maduro, a guy who came up through the radical left trade union movement in Brazil, but here is a guy who was also convicted of corruption. It's widely acknowledged, even by his own supporters that his party is corrupt, payment of bribes and exchange for government contracts. Lula da Silva served 580 days in prison when essentially the Supreme Court vacated his conviction by saying that the judge who ordered his incarceration was biased against him.

"Slash dinesh that's amac AMA C U.S. slash dinesh. I'd like to talk about the result or perhaps I should say lack of a final result in the Brazilian election. An election interestingly enough that bears real similarities with things going on in the United States. First of all, right before the election, the polls show that Lula da Silva, who is the left wing socialist candidate, was leading and was leading decisively. He had over 50% of the vote, Bolsonaro, who is the incumbent jeri Bolsonaro, was way behind with something like 36 or 37%. So this looked like it was going to be like a blowout election. And the left was kind of salivating over this because oh yeah, Bolsonaro is another Trump, he's an authoritarian. He's disgraced, Brazil on the world stage. He's expressed doubts about the COVID vaccine and so on. The results of the election come in and it's basically a tie. Now it's disturbing that it is a tie because this Lula da Silva is bad news. Not only leftist, but this is sometimes a redundant phrase corrupt, deeply corrupt, and in fact serves sometime I believe in prison for corruption scandals that Lula da Silva was in fact the prime minister earlier and was mired in corruption scandals. So in any event, not only does Bolsonaro tie, which means there's going to be a runoff election, and that alone came as a surprise to the media to the left. But a bunch of the Bolsonaro candidates, people who had been demonized by the media, also won their races. Strengthening, if you will, the conservative hold on the parliament. And so you have here one of the left wing activists is quoted in The Guardian, guardian is a good source for how the left is thinking. Maria Christina Fernández a political commentator in Brazil, she goes bowl scenario. He's becoming a political project with a beginning and middle and an end. The degree of conservatism, they have managed to insert into the Congress as something permanent and will take a very long time to reverse. So you can see the academics. They want to reverse it. But the point that they're trying to make, and this is Fernández talking again, the media and the whole world was outraged by Bolsonaro, but the people do not share our thoughts. So you have, you have the elite, you have all the kind of the media, the chattering classes, the deep state, but she goes on to say, there's a divorce between the press and the intellectual elites and the people. So how did Bolsonaro tie this election? Well, we're now talking there's another woman concealer Diego Diego is author of a book on Brazil's right. It's called The Serpent's egg. And she goes, they're reasoning, meaning the reasoning of the Bolsonaro people are not the right, is. I don't want this crook Lula, and I don't want these lefties coming along championing things like gay marriage and abortion. So you see here what's going on, we are suddenly seeing something that I really didn't think was possible, or at least wasn't likely, and that is the emergence of an international right. Look, for example, at Georgia, maloney in Italy. She sounds like Bolsonaro. Look at the Bolsonaro campaign. It's basically it's free markets. It is a championing of the ordinary people and upward mobility.

And the left was kind of salivating over this because oh yeah, Bolsonaro is another Trump, he's an authoritarian. He's disgraced, Brazil on the world stage. He's expressed doubts about the COVID vaccine and so on. The results of the election come in and it's basically a tie. Now it's disturbing that it is a tie because this Lula da Silva is bad news. Not only leftist, but this is sometimes a redundant phrase corrupt, deeply corrupt, and in fact serves sometime I believe in prison for corruption scandals that Lula da Silva was in fact the prime minister earlier and was mired in corruption scandals. So in any event, not only does Bolsonaro tie, which means there's going to be a runoff election, and that alone came as a surprise to the media to the left. But a bunch of the Bolsonaro candidates, people who had been demonized by the media, also won their races. Strengthening, if you will, the conservative hold on the parliament. And so you have here one of the left wing activists is quoted in The Guardian, guardian is a good source for how the left is thinking. Maria Christina Fernández a political commentator in Brazil, she goes bowl scenario. He's becoming a political project with a beginning and middle and an end. The degree of conservatism, they have managed to insert into the Congress as something permanent and will take a very long time to reverse. So

Turning next to Credit Suisse and the CEO is asked to investors for a fewer than a hundred days to deliver a new turnaround strategy saying the bank is at a critical moment in a memo to staff Ulrich corner says Credit Suisse has a strong capital base and liquidity position and promises regular updates before revealing a new strategic plan on October 27th, KBW analysts estimate the bank needs $4 billion worth of capital. And in Brazil, the president jar Bolsonaro is heading for a run off action on October 30th against leftist candles, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, Lula took 48% of the vote over Bolsonaro's 43%, both falling short of the simple majority needed for victory. The outcome puts the 76 year old former president within reach of returning to the helm of Latin America's largest economy. That runoff election, as I say, will take place on October 30th. Global news, 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than a 120 countries. This is Bloomberg. Well, let's get more on that story to do with Credit Suisse. The CEO really facing a massive challenge coming up with the turnaround plan, while facing increasing pressure from the markets. On Friday, he wrote to employees saying the bank had a strong capital base and liquidity position with the cost of ensuring the firm's bonds against default climbed about 15% last week to levels not seen since 2009, the share is also touching a record low. We've got Bloomberg's valery title in studio with us for more on this. Good morning to you, Valerie. What is the latest then on Credit Suisse? Yeah, so over the weekend we heard from both reports in the FT and the telegraph that senior executives at Credit Suisse spent a large part of the weekend assuring clients and counterparties and investors that liquidity and capital positions within the bank remained sound. This comes with the background, as you mentioned, that the costs of ensuring the firm's bonds climbed about 15% yesterday. So the CDS is trading at levels, not seen since 2009. It shares, as you mentioned, touch a new record low. And as well circulated memo on Friday this year, the CEO sent out was touting that even though the shares are trading at new lows, they still have a sound sound and strong capital. This issue ran struck capital down. What is the important thing that we should be watching there? Yeah, so in the memo, he noted that their core tier one capital ratio, which is the top measure for bank stands at 13 and a half percent as of June 30th. It's in the planned range that that Credit Suisse had stipulated earlier in between 13 and 14%. Now the international regulatory minimum ratio stands at 8%, but there is a more aggressive regulatory framework framework within Switzerland that calls for a lover higher about 10%. Now, when Deutsche Bank had a confidence of crisis back in 2016, their courts here one capital leverage ratio got down to 10.8%. So the memo was just, I guess, trying to reassure investors that their tier one capital ratio remains strong. And it's nowhere near worrying levels. Okay. We are of course waiting for that strategic plan expected later this month. What do we know about what's in that plan? Yeah, so we know from reports it's working on some possible asset sales of some business lines as part of this strategic plan, which is going to be unveiled at the end of October. The bank said it's also exploring deals to sell its securitized trading unit. It's also been weighing the sale of its Latin American wealth management operations and as we heard previously, it's considering reviving the name of its U.S. branch back to first Boston.

In the newsroom do these Pellegrini, this is Bloomberg, Brian. Denise, thanks very much, ten minutes before the top of the hour it's time for the daybreak Asian media and tea leaves review where we look at some of the top stories in leading newspapers around the region and on media websites. From the Financial Times, Moderna has refused to transfer the technology for its COVID vaccine to China. It's worried about possible reputational risks if its local partner were to fail to follow correct manufacturing processes. A processes and the paper says that the company also declined a request by China to hand over the recipe for the mRNA vaccine. That's due to commercial and safety concerns. Moderna says it still wants to sell the vaccine to China, but this story says that there is no talks that are ongoing at the moment. From Dow Jones, the U.S. has fallen short of its own target of donating 1.1 billion COVID vaccines to developing countries by the end of September. This comes as many recipient governments, particularly in Africa, struggle with low demand for the shots and also limited funding to distribute them. And from the South China morning post looking at the upcoming Communist Party, Congress in China, posing the question, why are women unlikely to win promotion at the Congress? Female cadres tend to rise through gender pathways in areas such as education, civil affairs and in mass organizations, but there rarely assigned to more high profile portfolios such as finance, economics, industry, and technology. There are about 2 million female cadres serving in the Communist Party and also in government organs, mostly at the grassroots level. Women make up more than half of the central government's new civil service recruits every year. But don't get the top jobs. 8 minutes before the top of the hour that's a few stories in the media Rashad to you.

We've got this specter of a global recession high interest rates and fragile stocks and much more to be contending with. Yeah. Thanks for having me Rashad. You know, I think right now, as you laid out, we are very much in a very weak environment just actually fundamentally and I guess from a sentiment standpoint. So right now we're really thinking that we're entering a seasonally strong part of the year, historically, but we don't think that this year we will actually have that Santa Claus rally. I think that we are really going to be waiting on the fed and for the fed to decide that they're done. So will we see the data first or will we get a hint from fed policymakers? I mean, Bloomberg has a story in the terminal right now saying that a few of the policymakers just starting to make some sounds about maybe wanting to take a look at the effect of the rates rate hike so far. Yeah, you know, I think that, you know, we've known that fed policy X with a long and variable lag. And unfortunately, you know, the fed is really trying to forestall inflation if the expense of growth and they're doing that at a very rapid pace that we at least we feel and young granted, you know, I'm not a central banker. I just play one on a radio on Sundays, but I think that ultimately that we are going to actually start seeing the data come through weaker and weaker and the fed is actually going to be in that situation, much like the dog that chases the car. They're going to catch the car and not know what to do with it because the data is not in the economy is getting the weaker severely weak and by the time they realize it is going to be too late.

"NPR news. Voting has begun this morning in Brazil's presidential election, the FrontRunner is Louise in Nazi Lula da Silva. He's a leftist who previously served two terms as president, and he held his final rally Saturday in São Paulo. Lula, as he's widely known, is running against Brazil's far right incumbent president jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro has raised fears about the state of Brazil's democracy by suggesting he might try to hang on to power even if he loses. NPR John Otis is in São Paulo where the Lula campaign is based. Good morning. Hi, good morning. So these two candidates seem like polar opposites. Can you tell us a bit about them? Sure. They're both theatrical and fiery speakers. Lula's actually quite a legendary politician he's on his 6th run for the presidency and he's revered by many Brazilians because when he held that post for two terms between 2003 and 2010, he oversaw an economic boom that lifted millions of people out of poverty. Now, by contrast, it's been tough going for president Bolsonaro. He's a former army captain. He's beloved by evangelicals and other conservatives. He even tweeted out last night that he's been endorsed by former president Donald Trump, but during his presidency Bolsonaro downplayed the COVID pandemic and Brazil ended up with the second highest COVID death toll after the U.S., he's also dealing with an economy that like in a lot of other countries right now is facing high inflation and high unemployment. But Lula has some political baggage as well. I mean, he was in prison, not that long ago, right? Exactly after leaving the presidency Lula became entangled in a wide ranging corruption scandal. He ended up serving about a year and a half in jail and then in yet another twist his conviction was thrown out on a technicality. And now he's trying to pull off what really would be one of Latin America's greatest political comebacks. He's also portraying himself as the guy who can save Brazil's democracy by beating Bolsonaro who has a rather authoritarian streak in, for example, he openly praises the country's former military dictatorship. So if Lula wins the election, would Bolsonaro accept defeat. Well, that's kind of the big question Bolsonaro has cast doubts for months on Brazil's electoral system and many of his supporters say they'll take to the streets and protest of Lula's declared the winner. But at the same time, several factors could stymie this effort Carolina Silva who I met at the Lula Raleigh says that if there's a landslide Lula win and it would make it a lot harder for Bolsonaro and his supporters to reject the results.

"Now Bolsonaro is saying here that his work as president has all been worthwhile because while he's been in office, he's managed to keep the communists from taking over Brazil and, you know, he was sort of alluding to how left wing leaders now rule much of Latin America, and Bolsonaro himself is facing a very tough challenge from the left. His main rival in the race is Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, his of the opposition Workers Party, and he's also a two term former president. Tell us more about Lula, I mean, this is a man he was in prison not so long ago. Yeah, that's right. Lula became a hero to many Brazilians for reducing poverty during his presidency. That lasted from 2003 to 2010, but after he left office, he got ensnared in a graft investigation and with sentenced to 12 years in prison, then in the latest twist, the Supreme Court in 2019 ordered his release. They didn't say he was innocent, but they cited procedural errors. So now Lula is running to get his old job back and I was with him on the campaign trail in northern Brazil last week. He's getting up there. He's 76 years old now and he's mostly relying on nostalgia. He's basically saying his campaign pitches. I was a good president two decades ago, so you should elect me again. Now her and polls show Bolsonaro trailing Lula by double digits. Why? It's mainly a problem with the economy. It's sluggish right now and inflation and unemployment are rising. And now some of this has to do with the COVID-19 pandemic, which, according to his critics, Bolsonaro made a lot worse, he shrugged off the disease as nothing more than like a common cold or a flu. And he cast doubts on whether or not people should really bother getting vaccinated and tragically Brazil ended up with the world's second highest COVID death toll after the United States nearly 700,000 Brazilians have died of COVID. The big question now is whether Bolsonaro would accept defeat if, in fact, he actually does lose to Lula, or whether he would try to pull off what would sort of be kind of a Brazilian big lie he spent several of the last few months casting doubts on Brazil's electronic voting system, even though it's worked just fine for decades, Bolsonaro is also a former army captain and has suggested that the military should oversee the vote count and as sort of hinted that, well, maybe the military could even step in if they don't like the result.

"Former president Louis Lula da Silva has has been released on one of the first things he did was to address thousands of his jubilant supporters. The Metalworkers Union in Sao Paulo Monaco's Latin American affairs is correspondent leasing. The Elliott was there and I'm delighted to say. She joins us on the line. Now Welcome back to monocle twenty four. Listen what were things like on Saturday. When Lula appeared appeared was I stay really sort of marked a move really away from Lulu the political prisoner Emerton Lou? The politician thousands of people as you say gathered outside right the union where his political career really took off back in the one thousand nine hundred and they were there to hear his public address and it was a carnival of sorts with live music coming home really that that contrasted hugely to the very somber mood last time. The Workers Party supporters met at the site in April of last year when Luder actually handed ended himself into the authorities and went to prison. We stayed until fairly late. And there was a brief moment where he sort of popped his head out of the Union Wendo to say good night but it was certainly one of if one of celebration on Saturday and also there is a sense that this is a political breakthrough because yes he has been imprisoned and no he. The corruption charges have not been dropped and no he can't run for public office but this is him positioning himself back in the political limelight. Isn't it yet. He certainly and he reiterated his political ambitions of the weekend naturally said that the left can take back reveals presidency in the twenty twenty two election. Technically yes he's barred from running running for public office because of the conviction because of the charges against him but there were talks actually of a national tour in coming weeks or months where he set to meet with constituents truants. I mean there haven't been further details about that whether he actually manages to eventually become a candidate again. What is clear he seems to be trying to? Galvanize is in reinvigorate the left in Brazil because up until now there's been a distinct lack the plausible opposition figure to Bolsonaro since he took office a little over eleven months months ago and unloader appears to want to be just that. Do you think he will be able to be plausible political figure given the fact that he has got such a backstory that no one can forget get I mean for his detractors. Lulu still remains a highly controversial figure and is blamed for fostering a culture of corruption in Brazil and should be kept opt in prison. I mean I remember. When he was jailed back in April last year there were fireworks going off in parts of the country and celebration and also on Saturday? Although it wasn't as widely reported did but pro Bolsonaro groups really came together in the city of some Paolo in supported. The president's and to many of the millions voted for Bolsonaro in the last election. Lueders release piece is is a reminder of exactly why they did and there have been talks among political analysts early this morning that say that maybe it's not the best moves by the Workers Party to out him. At Center stage we see how in Argentina recently by putting polarizing but nevertheless still powerful figure Christina kitchener further in the background. You know she ran as vice president. That really paid off and she liked. Lula had a string of corruption related charges against her But being in the backseat so so yes. This is still very much up for debate at a whether it would be a a move sorts. Tell us a little bit more about what his the next move can possibly given the fact that he's barred from standing for office but nonetheless is not barred from speaking in public exactly so the charges haven't been dropped against against him what's changed. Since Thursday's Supreme Court ruling is that he can appeal but as a free man and very publicly before he had to exhaust. The appeals process from jail and this is also applied to thousands of other inmates here in Brazil his conviction relating to the beach side apartment stands and his lawyers said the over the coming weeks immediately. They're going to continue to appeal because he was serving this for eight years and ten months for corruption and money laundering and still faces a half a half dozen corruption. Trials luda still whoa denies all the charges and he's urging that they're politically motivated in order to keep him out of the presidential election and but for the moment you know the the main thing is that he's out in public. Listen to relate. Thank you very much indeed for joining his own monocle twenty four. Let's get more on this now. From Ovarian Fernando Pacheco Echo Fernando is native of Sao Paulo and was back home visiting his family over the weekend. In fact just off the plane hunting your finances so welcome to the studio. Just tell us a little bit more about what it it was like to be in Sao Paulo in your hometown and see Lula back in the headlines again. First of all he was such a surprise. I was not predicting This decision decision by the Supreme Court and when it was announced of course it was big news in Brazil it was on tv all the time. I had to cancel my evening plans because as a good journalist even on holiday today I was I mean He Luli such one of the most important political figures in Brazil ever in a way and as listened to say he's quite divisive You either loving or hating. It's very difficult to not have an opinion about Lula in a way and interesting. Because you know I'm from some Paolo which is actually political conservative states especially in recent years so perhaps I got a different vibe. I'm sure Lula has many supporters in the northeast. But where I was in symbolic impala could fuel a lot of people actually attacking the Supreme Court For our the ruling can be felt in the streets got it because I mean Brazil has never been Brazilians. Excellent never been backwards in coming forward and expressing their political opinion in the streets but Your mum is from Sao Paulo and she's a therapist isn't she says she's gentle lovely lovely soul anyone who's been lucky enough to meet Fernandez. Mother will have their life slightly enrich via. But you get but even she has been subject to political Michael victimization. Doesn't she's by simply going on. Line trolling is rife absolutely me Shirota. Something like democracy or on her social media and and so leaving among her group of friends people were attacking and some people start even swearing. I mean she even decided to delete that and it is true Even in Brazil some point I was covering the election eighteen. I kind of I felt kind of a some sort of fear when I was in the cab. If I wanted to express my political opinion lenient because people. They're very heated. They will call you names. I mean I'm not saying everyone does that but it is very heated moment In Brazil the moment dis. I think that the release of Leila a man who's who so intrinsically linked with Brazil's past and with all the corruption that goes was with it is the right person to change the political game in Brazil given the fact that Bolsonaro in many ways is an open goal given how deeply deeply unpopular he is with certain areas of society.
