"Lula will be a champion of peace, including in Ukraine," says Boaventura Sousa Santos.

247 - Portuguese sociologist Boaventura Sousa Santos, one of the leading intellectuals of our time, stated in an interview with journalist Leonardo Attuch, editor of TV 247, that the victory of president-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has not yet definitively ended the fascist nightmare in Brazil. "Lula's victory was a great struggle. And it's reckless to think that everything has returned to normal because the damage Bolsonaro caused was enormous. He rekindled the embers of all the colonial violence in Brazil," he says. "Lula will be the target of a permanent policy of destabilization," he adds.

Boaventura also said that Lula will have an extraordinary role in the world. "We are in a moment of interregnum, where the old hasn't died and the new hasn't been born. The old is the unipolar world of the United States, and the new is the multipolar world, which is clearly being born," he stated. Boaventura also predicted that Joe Biden's honeymoon with Lula will be short-lived because China is an unavoidable partner for Brazil. "Lula should lead a Latin American bloc. Lula will be a champion of peace, even in Ukraine. He should consolidate himself as a regional leader before consolidating himself as a world leader," he pointed out.

The sociologist points out that Brazil has now regained a position of authority with Lula's return. "It's a window of opportunity," he says. Boaventura also says there are many similarities between the current period and what occurred between the two world wars. Regarding the Davos meeting, to which Lula was invited, Boaventura stated that "it is the World Economic Forum that needs Lula."
