Lula, former President of Brazil, was one of the
strongest allies of Hugo Chavez while the corrupt Venezuelan autocrat was
alive. Now he has changed his posture 180 degrees. He is not enjoying Chavez’s
prodigality any longer and can afford to disavow him. In Peru, where is he is
lobbying for the presidency of UNASUR he said: ““Yo le
decía, Chávez, deja de hablar de Simón Bolívar, ya no hay integración con
espada en la mano, sino con banco de desarrollo, con financiamiento, con tasa
de interés”. Translated: “Chavez, stop
talking about Simon Bolivar, integration can no longer be done with the sword
in hand but with a development bank, financing, interest rates”. This was
received with great applause from the audience, made up of Brazilian and Peruvian
businessmen.
Abandoning Chavez after he can longer be of use to him, Lula has
proven that loyalty is not a frequent attribute of the corrupt.
