Brazil’s Lula Calls For the West To End the War
Sending weapons is equal to “incentivizing war,” President Lula said in Beijing, showcasing BRICS as a global peace coalition.

Before meeting with the Chinese president, Lula made an impassioned plea for the replacement of the U.S. dollar with other currencies for use in international trade.
Despite the de-dollarization trend, approximately 60% of the world’s foreign exchange reserves remain in U.S. dollars.
The former Brazilian president’s return to his native country would come with risk. Authorities accuse him of having stoked an uprising against Lula’s presidency.
Protests have been going on for weeks throughout the country in the wake of the October 30 election in which Lula was declared the winner.
For their part, authorities in the Brazilian legal system, including the president of the Electoral Court, Alexandre de Moraes, have been explicit in opposing the questioning of the election results.
According to #BrazilWasStolen, in thousands of cases, older, non-auditable vote-counting machines registered 0 votes for Bolsonaro, even in districts where he got a majority due to votes counted by newer machines.
The grassroots conservative movement in Brazil will continue and is already giving Lula much stronger opposition than he had counted on.
Protesters have blocked roads using trucks, agricultural machinery, cranes, and burning tires, wearing green shirts stamped with the Brazilian flag evocative of support for the current president.
The elections had been extremely volatile, as Da Silva’s socialist and Bolsonaro’s nationalist visions duked it out. One has, for now, gained momentum.
