President Alberto Fernández described the arrival of his Brazilian counterpart as “a great joy and tranquility,” adding that with Lula “everything will be easier.”
President Alberto Fernández affirmed this Sunday that after difficult times in the relationship between Argentina and Brazil, during the administration of Jair Bolsonaro, the arrival of Lula da Silva to the government, is a great joy and tranquility and asserted that they are two countries that have born to be united
“I cannot hide the fact that Lula’s arrival in government is a great joy and tranquility for me as a man from Latin America, as an Argentine and who wants democracy and respects social rights,” Fernández said in an interview with Brazil’s Canal Livre.
He added that with the new presidency of Luiz Inácio da Silva ”everything is going to be easier, because Lula is as convinced as I am of the need for the integration of the continent. Lula believes in Mercosur as I do,” confessed the president of the Argentines.
Alberto stressed the importance of the relationship between both countries: “We have economies that are closely linked in many matters and we know that, working together, we can be great suppliers of food to a world that demands it.”
Fernández reiterated that even in the most complex moments, he often felt “mistreated” by former President Bolsonaro, “but I have always remained silent to preserve the link between Argentina and Brazil, because it makes no sense for that link to be destroyed by someone who mistreats another”, he closed bluntly.
And he advanced that with the recomposition of the bilateral relationship ‘we can do many things by joining efforts. If we integrate we grow both countries’.
“Argentina and Brazil are two countries that were born to be united,” he concluded.
