Lula stated that Venezuela’s problems were not Brazil’s concern.

On Monday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro asserted that each country must find its own way to resolve internal conflicts and issues, using its own institutions and national dynamics.

During his program “With Maduro More,” the Bolivarian leader referred to recent statements by Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who expressed agreement with Maduro’s stance.

Lula stated that Venezuela’s problems were not Brazil’s concern and that each country should find a way to resolve its conflicts through its institutions.

“It seems to me that Lula’s reflection was wise. A point in Lula’s favor,” Maduro stated, while reaffirming that each nation should resolve its own issues.

As clear a signal as there can be. Trump is expected to appoint gusano zealot Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, which should give a clear indication of where his foreign policy is going, particularly regarding Latin America (and Venezuela)https://t.co/1hbiX8BC2x

“I agree with Lula. Every country must find a way to resolve its matters, conflicts, and problems. Brazil with its institutions and sovereign dynamics, and Venezuela with our institutions and sovereign dynamics,” the Bolivarian leader said.

Lula also mentioned that he has no right to question the decisions of other countries’ supreme courts. “I don’t want any country to do the same with mine,” he said.

Previously, after the Brazilian government blocked Venezuela from joining BRICS as an associate member, Venezuelan authorities criticized the interference from their neighboring country and called their ambassador in Brasilia for consultations.
