🇧🇷🤡🇻🇪🇻🇪 — "How many years have you spent hearing that Maduro was a bad man?": Lula's statements before the Venezuelan election crisis

💬 During his third term, the President of Brazil sought a close relationship with Nicolás Maduro and downplayed the authoritarian actions of the Chavista regime.

1. "I don't consider Venezuela a dictatorship because Venezuela has more elections than Brazil. [...] The concept of democracy is relative to you and me."

2. "People need to learn to respect the election results. If someone wants to defeat Maduro, let them do it in the next elections. Now that there will be elections, go and defeat him."

3. "I think, comrade Maduro, that it's necessary—you know the narrative that has been built against Venezuela. About anti-democracy, authoritarianism, you know. So, I think it's up to Venezuela to show its narrative so that it can effectively change people's opinions!"

4. "I think that from everything we've discussed, your narrative will be infinitely better than the narrative they've been telling about you!"

5. "There's nothing serious or alarming about the Venezuelan elections. Everything happened peacefully."
