11:34 am
brazil's presidential in boston, otto is up for reelection on october, 2nd, against former president, luis, in our field to load a silver. and what many view as a defining moment for the country? what whole suggest that it is in the lead? some fear that both in our own might not accept defeat. what will this mean for brazil's democracy and what would a new lula presidency look like for brazil? will ask brazil, former minister of foreign affairs and current advisor to lose campaign so, so i'm already in and up front special. ah so, so already thank you so much for joining me on up front. thank you. brazil's elections are coming up on october 2nd, and it is between former president lula da silva, who was currently leading the polls against incumbent j. both scenario in early
11:35 am
this month to boston, our support stabbed to death, a lula supporter, and on brazil's independence they both an arrow called the election, a fight between good and evil. meanwhile, at a recent debate, lula accused both in ardo, of quote, destroying the country. even of little wins the election, millions of people will have voted for boston. are given this level of polarization . how does the country move forward or complicated matter? planing your word, i didn't know i read a diplomat, so i you or she is a different government. both for marriage, something don't worry, i'll also all the all to do is like they show the gold sure. and
11:36 am
g everything you get you. i did buy with more than rational follow politics. i mean i have gone through many other elections. this is certainly the most dramatic one you're giving in brazil, because after a long time in which also lulu or the victim of this, some sort of last, there is huge or whatever we are now. all the democratic boards are supporting eula. yeah, we had recent, even a meeting with all the rivals, depalma rivals on. we are all, all of them were rational. people are already the extreme right. support. so matter what, what do you do when you have people, as you say, who are strong support of the p t, the workers party. you also have people on the other side who are taking a very different position. even if both in are loses. there will be a lot of unhappy people. there'll be a lot of unsatisfied people. this election,
11:37 am
as you pointed out, is the most dramatic in years. if not ever. how does the country move forward when there's such a big divide between the people? well, i think lower able to construct be the light which you do many, you know, who is more i kind of a social democrat less green may be by your standards, but he built a lot in alliance. you. ready the man and he's the vice president. what is former rival so i will deal with them. so we did a geisha patient with dialogue. i think a lot of people are just manipulated by animals. it will be a difficult driver to just do the same question about drunk isn't in there in the united states, but anyway, i equal and we see what's happening. so that part of the electrons are so important
11:38 am
because it's not an election between right and left. as if you were labeled block that it was park gate or something equivalent in german or whatever it's, it's an election between everything that represents the civilized norms of all believing. and gooding in relation to climate change are of rice and people who are on the other side, on the opposite side, you want to destroy not the left, not the legacy of the one, for the prior. they are destroy the legacy of 100 years over a 1000000 republic, more than a 100 years yet destroying the all the legacy. although of the constitutional that was what years ago. so it's something very special the whole different way to look well actually, which is a very or you one with all the dialogue,
11:39 am
the discussion and to discuss rationally, i think, will stablish democracy as it should be. with lula leaving the poles ahead of brazil election. president, boston ro is already laying the groundwork to declare the election results fraudulent. he's publicly questioning the reliability of the elections, particularly brazil electronic voting system. and the last time lula attempted to run for president in 2018, he was sent to prison by a judge was eventually found to be biased by the country supreme court. the charges were known, but nevertheless, the point remains. do you worry what happens if both son r o does not accept the results of the election? i don't think this can happen getting a lot of trouble. some of his people were very fanatic. water is happening with the capitol hill. f is all, but i don't think these would prevail. get dark and reveal,
11:40 am
especially right. the doesn't are the only one story got right. the only only successful when they have the board on monday, konami leads of big media and fall august stamp or foreign countries. and in this game, both are wont have annual. well though i don't even realize the other thing you need is support of the military since both and aro, came to power. he has tripled the number of military personnel in keith civilian posts, to more than a 1000. his running mate is a former general who like both and aro, has praised brazil's military dictatorship. so if both now doesn't accept the election, what role does the military play? this seems like it could be another piece of the, of a potential crisis here. well, i was minister of the same in brazil, so i know them rather well. one way,
11:41 am
one thing was people who are already retired or off or politics like many ministers who actually came from ranks. and the other thing is why the high command of the ability to do i really do the leg work. boy not venture. isolate them on in the world. so i don't think they, i think they really do a whole results on direction, especially as if we open, we are clear, we believe it will happen if there is any immediate recognition of the election. okay, fair enough. let's pivot to the economy a bit. lula has argued that it's time to put the poor in the budget, and then it's time to tax the rich. yet there's been talk that he might appoint his
11:42 am
center right running mate, geraldo ackman, to be finance minister. in the past argument supported privatizing brazil state run oil economy and he's presided over the violent eviction of thousands of families from the pen. your in your settlement while he was governor of south palo, is this potential decision a signal that lula might be moving away from left the left wing policies of his last presidency? not at all. i mean, why are you even here the last president or not so obviously be before the election, but many of the minister cannot be once you left me. i think of course louisa, someone was very careful read not the spending more than it's possible, but at the same time will not relinquish his for the financial will help the hell. those have been discriminated. all these you
11:43 am
will people, women bless people, your brazil is the, has the largest opera center population in the world. second only to june, much bigger than their might and states. so i think all of these people support learned support your government question, but the court is there isn't the support. the question is if he moving further to the center or center, right. even if you're establishing your, your potential presidency with people whose economic policies and disposition toward the poor is not in line with leveling policies. well, let me see, it's not looking to move to the center of the right seat. the sent the right move on to the left because of the madness of the ball. some idol government were present, so i was evicting evicting families in in and penny reno
11:44 am
privatizing the economic us the oil industry. these are a neal liberal and in some ways just violet moves. these are not just a response to both, and these are problematic when they're all know that was what you're referring to deposit of the people who are with all the land. they are quite right. it was well in the app is all we did it, we would not agree with the agree. busy so, but i think little a deal and i knew that, but i have a very confident appreciation of all being. and i think he's very identified with the whole program. and he has been saying and be like the most popular leader and the one that really represents people. so i don't have any problem. and of course, you know me problems we may have because they are going to be or the world up the
11:45 am
war. 1 a new, great or sanction, the price of oil, all our big problems and of course, you know, gave you have your deforestation that will allow me to come by and given you by. so there are many problems, but i think we have a platform which is more left which will require to be asian sometimes that's happening while i'm alive at all spanish. through that i will believe the point, but someone even conciliation at this point if, if you're going into a potential administration, choosing people who are to the right of your economic policy. but i wanna talk about corruption for minute. lewis has promised a crackdown on corruption if elected, and he made similar promises in the past, but his party, the workers party are p t,
11:46 am
isn't immune to corruption itself in 2005, while he was in power, there was a major corruption scandal in which high ranking politicians from the p t were convicted of bribing members of congress to gain political support using public funds. a louis former chief of staff was among those convicted as well as the former head of the party. how you uphold lou promises? sure is. how do you, how do we make sure that the christian doesn't happen again? well, liquid, all the, all the instruments to come by. corruption in brazil, or at least the most efficient, were created during blue administrative. so if you don't reach the president police, they have the i asked read all the only political orientation from the government. many other aspects of opening the transparency law. and i was
11:47 am
a great number of last. these were greek during lulu. i think they're part of the that's part of the concern for me sir, is that during the time when this stuff is being established is very party with engaged in corruption and members of his of his staff as former chief of staff was engaged. so it seems to me that it's possible for him to have a vigilant. well, i don't pick up the problem was bigger than in any other developers who have leave the diplomat. i think a lot of what was called corruption work. what do you call organ bearer? like something like that there was rub up but was not or equally to be at all. you'd have to come from a long time and he has to do a lot with, as i said with electric, which makes our electrons very, very expensive. mostly the actions for or representatives
11:48 am
for or margaret people. so i see these will continue looking at that with transparency and support. and the strawman, like the federal police, like an independent judiciary, an independent or isn't your case and the case you don't like that state. the man would be called the general. he's a political appointee in our case, defender or use also has a great importance in eating golding of what happened in the past. they they form. and they chose for me to say what was correct of course, correct, or do something different sheet. you'll have to go back and make them always again . so, but these are there have always supported these instruments and they will prevent she just gave up a corruption appear again. let's talk about the environment
11:49 am
a bit. brazil is one of the most bio diverse countries in the world, meaning that brazil's environmental policy could really be a game changer for the world, and why lula has been praised for reducing the rate of amazon deforestation during his time in office. he also supported major infrastructure projects, including the belmont, a hydro electric damn, which displaced were around $40000.00 people and triple greenhouse gas emissions in the eastern region. how can you ask people who are affected by those projects to trust lula again? well, let me say of course of all the although i'm not sure that everything was perfect. there are contracts between social forces in the country. but during lulu government, the rate of the deal, the government, the rate of participation, diminished match absolute match rate. greece, even if the economy was growing,
11:50 am
so you get so watson that it but i what i would say a real or minutes or so on the day. the portion of the climate problem nowadays even bigger deal probation we did with ensuring that we are not meeting carbon will be much bigger. now these will be in the same federal deal for green development. this is paul is very the right the state of recall. so the green development is present, so i think the idea of stopping deforestation and having a kind of painful development can it be for friends? respectfully, deforestation isn't in question right now. will we reasonably expect more major
11:51 am
infrastructure projects, more displacement of people? these are things that happen before. why should we believe they won't happen again? because i think that gorgeous and that's where she is bigger. if you look interviews, including the one where we did on her breast, gave the last one. you'll see the climate change became a family concern, which was not as simple as it is now. la has even mentioned that create the ministry or be handled by the indigenous person. so you will be much more centrally in the policy. there was a did just that spoke the whole change and you also which is very important. i mean, look, game problems, industrial field, sol, good, good, good, good. wait, you're very just workers was, you know, way dominant. now, you know, are very important or what it is also important. look at the digital people are the
11:52 am
people of black origin who even communities, all black people and rich. although already the was happening, the bus will be much more. ok. talk to about l development lula says that brazil still needs oil for a while. and he said that he would not join an anti oil block as proposed by columbia as newly elected progressive president, gustavo petro. but it looks like you're planning to continue to, to rely on oil despite the climate crisis. how does lula intend to reverse environmental damage from the boston auto years while backing fossil fuels? well, i think these are a lot of larger stand. we'll get back on to see him on the national community. so i think if you find a sam says, how much oil oil can we substitute or os
11:53 am
loyal by other source of energy like or green eyes or jane or whatever. so any follow by follow the rules and you contribute the rules limit guy. what i myself remember while i'm a dog are shooting. so this is a, these are all, sir, very more present. how exactly we, i was i, i'm sure we'll work on the, on the, on the, on the direction of the do me, you shouldn't, of the relative roll up. also, what is not only a problem, a problem united states as well, and what your other brands don't make a statement on other parts of your work. if you've talked about being a career diplomat in the early 2000 and you served as little as foreign affairs minister. and one of the things that you would have to do to do was to strengthen brazil's integration with its south american neighbors. right now,
11:54 am
many are saying we're living through a new pink tide with recently elected progressive governments in places like columbia. and sheila, if lula is elected, what role do you see brazil playing in those into regional integration efforts and what are your goals? well, let me tell you, i see the world today. well, there are many, many other aspects to that. but let me state, i see the world today to be in the middle of some kind of dilemma between multiple ada or old war, old or sometimes beginning, begin raving or so. and we think the gratian of south america, help america beast left america and a general genario. so the more weight that great and more all heard and definitely contribute not only to our in our favor,
11:55 am
but to be in the world. i think it's very important that the american caribbean will have their board in order for that to happen. we have to be more integrated each country wants just will have their advantage of having a bigger probably don't like a state or bigger investment trying without taking into account. did the whole continent, i think will lowe's will. i mean brazil is a big country. even brazil is not big enough to discuss and go nice and state china discuss we're going to be in your so that's one reason why a degree should be so important. 20 years after his 1st election progresses are once again looking to lula who is now 76 years old. it would appear that no one on the left, his neighbor matches popularity. $7770.00 even more. so for a $77.00. 0 yeah. yeah,
11:56 am
no, it's 77 years old and no one seems to be able to match his pop. i don't find it. i am i h e i away. why did it that was 79. yeah, i think this is well the problem with the bottom tech chain in a way, but one of the patterns and themes is that the left is looking to people for help and support without a clear successor ship. when lula leaves office, there is a parliamentary coup. there's major political turmoil. it seems to me that we often are, are centering, our progressive movements around individuals, rather than values. and so then when that person leaves, it's hard to find success or shit, we're seeing the same problem again in the united states. what, what do you say to people who ask the question, what is the plan for a progressive political future in brazil? what is the plan for success or ship that extends beyond lula? well, i don't know, but there are several of the,
11:57 am
i mean never equals there in politics, a possible future governor of some follow. but the many other people who would be qualified and why are much younger worry the or the early i mean be in order written style struck the views of a real democratic society with the fearful side, with social justice and so on may be at this point we need experience more than inventiveness. they be 4 years from now. it will be the other way around. but you know, as you like to say, the cross that bridge when you get to the, our rob allows restoring b. bill, 300 restoring. you manage your restoring civilization, restoring the racial policy, good policies for women. so that's what we would need. now. what made life would
11:58 am
you guilds, the traditional sent the right people? and the more or less we will have people were, are very lot. and you'll have people who are bankers, all of them support a little or no. i mean, the question of salvation of national home base. i am bracky, you know, i'm an old guy, so i have every both. so i don't, i don't think you'll win. i don't think that you can, but if you would, when brazil, as we have the longer mr. marine. thank you so much for joining me on a thank you very much. all right, that is our show up front will be back next week. the
