swimming against the red tide: Fake news: Lula "never was a leftist"

Fake news: Lula "never was a leftist"

Lula launched his reelection campaign doing what he does best: travelling and lying.
He went to St. Petersburg - playing the role of "Developing Countries" Leader.
And gave an interview to reuters, that he explains his plans for a second term.
The most importante excerpt of the interview is this

Brazil's Lula to keep econ policy if re-elected | Reuters.com

There is no reason to change; there are things to perfect. We want to reduce interest rates, we want to grow a little more, generate more jobs," said Lula in the presidential palace in Brasilia.

"I never was a leftist," he said, even though for decades he advocated suspending foreign debt payments and breaking with the International Monetary Fund.

Lula could not even convinced the press about his statement as "non-leftist" leader.

This interview, the trip, and all that relates to Lula now on must be seen as theatrical performance to gain the elections.

Lula is a president that never really ruled our country. In 1900 days as President he stayed out of office about 980 days. And he is on the office is just like he doesn´t. He is the perfect awol president!!!

His present talk of not being a leftist is just baloney.
Again it is just a product to foreign consumption (specially US).
Lula is anti-american, pro-cuban, pro-bolivarian (pro-Chavez), pro-Evo (even against his own motherland).
He is doing the same as Castro (deceased??) when he declared befor United Nations the he was not communist.
It seems that Lula is trying to say that "I never was leftist; but my government is leftist".

Lula is again proving his role inside the Sao Paulo Forum arrangement:To be a kind of North-American-lexotan-on-Latin-American-issues while Chavez, Castro, Evo and Obrador do what is their primary job: To create chaos inside Latin America.

And Lula does it as loud as he can. He´s an actor and he stages just for the benefit of the 'poor'...
