The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvaassured this Monday in Mexico that it is necessary to “resume a conversation” with Venezuela after the political situation generated after the July 28 elections.
He said that Venezuela is a country “with which I have a good relationship, it is a country that has a 1,600 kilometer border with Brazil (…) In other words, we need to find a way to resume a democratic conversation,” Lula said in statements to journalists in Mexico City.
«That is why I have been worried about Venezuela for a long time, not just now. Because the more peace Venezuela has, the more peace South America will have, because we want to consecrate South America as a zone of peace, we do not want war,” he added.
Lula has insisted on 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.
Until now, the efforts made by Brazil together with Colombia and, to a lesser extent with Mexico, have been unsuccessful in achieving that objective.
