The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, left this Sunday for Mexico, where he will attend the inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum and will meet with both the new president of the North American country and the outgoing one, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, official sources reported.
Lula will arrive in Mexico City at the end of the afternoon and will begin his official agenda on Monday, when he will have a private meeting with the next president on the eve of the inauguration, to discuss various issues, among which, the Venezuelan crisis, according to Brazilian diplomatic sources anticipated.
Lula wants to analyze with Sheinbaum the possibility of continuing to try for joint mediation by Brazil, Colombia and Mexico to promote a dialogue between the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, and the opposition after the elections last July.
Until now, the efforts made by Brazil together with Colombia and, to a lesser extent with Mexico, have been unsuccessful in achieving that objective.
None of the three countries has recognized the result announced by the electoral body and the Supreme Court of Venezuela, which attributed the victory to Maduro and was denounced as fraudulent by the opposition, which nominated Edmundo González Urrutia, now exiled in Spain, as a candidate. .
On the same Monday, the Brazilian president will also have a private meeting with López Obrador and will participate in the closing of a business seminar that will bring together some 150 Brazilian companies and another 250 Mexican companies.
On Tuesday, the Brazilian president’s agenda will be limited to the formal events of Sheinbaum’s investiture, after which he will return to Brasilia.
