Brazil’s presidential palace says that Pres. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has canceled his trip to China after contracting pneumonia.
after contracting pneumonia, the presidential palace said on Saturday.
Chinese authorities have been informed, “with the reiteration of the desire to schedule the visit on a new date,” the palace said. The trip’s cancellation is “bad news” for the government as the visit was “an opportunity for Lula to reconnect with business elites, especially in the agribusiness, who have been very much pro-Bolsonaro,” said Oliver Stuenkel, a political scientist from the Getulio Vargas Foundation think tank.
The cancellation “will raise questions about to what extent Lula can sustain the very intense diplomatic activism” seen in the first three months of his presidency, Stuenkel said. The then-former president spent over a year in jail before his conviction was annulled. In 2019, Moro became Bolsonaro’s Justice Minister.
