announces era after inside storage state you events watching bye for now. ah, who is cindy? asked yoletta sylvia is back in power in brazil, his promise to unite the country and undo his predecessors, policies that deadly divided nation. what can lou that deliver? this is inside story. ah

hello, welcome to the program i'm hash am abolla as the saying goes, the 3rd time's the charm for newly sworn in brazil and president was in yes, you live the silver, commonly known as lola. it's a chance to take his nation in a new direction. he has inherited a bitterly divided country with a bleak economic outlook and an amazon rain forest suffering from decisions of his predecessor, j, a boston arrow, or a law, the extensive deforestation. but sonata skipped the hand over ceremony and is now in the united states. so is this in your door for brazil, and what challenges remain for it's new leader? we'll put that on august 1st. this report from our latin america editor this year newman in brasilia. ah, you sworn impressive in wishing us to let us silver walked up the ramp of the presidential palace flanked by members of brazil's diverse society,

including an indigenous leader, a black woman, a disabled man, a child, and a rubbish collector. it was a symbolic gesture. they shared the task of bestowing lula, the presidential sash, in lieu of outgoing presidential bulls. fernando who refused to recognize his successor will. that name was, i vow. above 2, we will use the weapons that our adversaries fear, the most. the truth that prevails are the lies. hope that conquers fair and loved defeats hatred. thousands of supporters from all over brazil had come to witness the return of the man they call the people's president. firemen doubts them with water to help overcome heat and exhaustion. many like the piano and avid yanna had arrived before dawn. oh, we've been waiting for for years for democracy, for the prisoners, people to eat and have jobs. lose political come back is nothing short of extraordinary. in 2018, he was sentenced to

a nearly 13 year prison term for corruption. although he was later released after his sentence was overturned. 08 kilometers from the palace. fierce a ponies camped near a military barracks, refusing to recognize their left during president. they vowed continue resisting lula one by a very small margin in a bitterly fort election. oh, but his supporters are overjoyed, newly himself was overcome with emotion when you spoke of ending hunger among the poor. nap parked up was a full flight of people at the doors of butcher shops, looking for bones to alleviate hunger, while at the same time others white to buy imported cars and private jets. such a social chasm is an opposite of the building of a truly just democratic society. luna is promising to reinstate most of the social programs that made him so popular during his 1st 2 terms. he has all been

tremendously high expectations amongst brazilians are not always dangerous because their expectations that he may not be able to meet rulers, powerful opponents, led by former presidential sonata, are determined to thwart his government at every turn. leaving the new president. little time to celebrate seeing human al jazeera brazilian. so his lunar the silver and how did he make such a come back while had already served 2 terms as president from 2003 until 2010 after which he faced a number of legal challenges in 2016. he was questioned in a multi country anti corruption investigation that led to the conviction of several members of his workers party. it was led by a former judge, who was an ally of luna's wyvil jebel, snarl de la was found guilty of corruption and sentence to 12 years in prison. in 2017, he maintained his innocence as he was imprisoned in 2018. but lula was freed

a year later after brazil supreme court ruled the judge in his case was not impartial and overstepped his jurisdiction. ah, let's introduce our guess. now in sao paolo glenmere cas. whoa! is professor of political science at funder. so g, tillie of august university, a rabbit nissan. i'm a 30 professor of international relations at howard university in london, vinicius, to cover you, read a brazilian and latin american studies of kings college london. he is also added to the an for brazilian, that is series. welcome to the program, gillard me. many father, the inaugurated was going to be a moment of unity, but at the same time we saw a look at a silver very critical denouncing the legacy of his predecessor balsam arrow. well,

i think that we have 2 separate words in deeds. lola has to to reach out to his supporters to his score supporters who happened to be left leaning progressive. so i think that the migration speech made sense in this logic of reaching out to his, his own political base, his constituents. but at the same time, we see that the composition of louis cabinets is very diverse. the workers party doesn't have not as many ministries used to have during during lewis to 1st to 10 years in office. so i think that we will have a much more moderate administration and then the ones that we had in the early 2000 . and so the rhetoric is left leaning, but the deeds will be a little bit more to the center. ms. r. a starting political come back, isn't it?

what do you think that one of the silver should reinvent himself this time to be able to reach out to all the brazilians? how to really much in so he, he re introduce himself to resilience as someone who is making the stand for democracy. and he managed over the last few months to build a coalition with someone who run it in previous elections against him. so which is the argument so that he managed to build a very wide coalition. he managed to get the support of very important figures from his former opposition. ready party called the b or in the 1st strong on the elections on the 2nd ground, he managed even more reached out to more supporters of other political parties. so he managed really to build disco, which is in a sense,

re luncheon himself, bugs, duct, and goose is not below when your between 2000 and george was on vinicius. when, when, when lola left in 2010, he had an approval rating. above 80 percent, he was of the most popular presidents in most modern history or busy but there his sort of $580.00 days in prison on corruption chargers. you have opponent saying that how come we are going to have to deal with someone who has to spend his time in jail, not be our president. what do you think this is going to be a big challenge for him? it will be a big challenge or no doubt about that, but it's a quite epic, i would say, trajectory of lula from, from his 1st election and to what we have to day lula. we have so many challenges

at this moment, and one of them is exactly to harmonize the country again. we should remember that he was elected with the very, very small majority over boss fernando. that is a quite huge part of brazilian population that don't support lula. some of them not even support boss on our but to didn't want blue ll as well as president and eldest population that blue the promised in his speech. if integration is speech yesterday that he will then for the entire brazil not only for those who vote for him him, you need to translate that in actions now because that will be seen as, as the biggest challenge. i think to prove that 1st of all, he's not to corrupt. he what hugh is acquisitions, we're not, we're not justifiable. and he can manage the county bender. he can return what he has been 20 years ago when he was 1st coming to due to the presidency of brazil. ah, glad of me. the inauguration would have been totally different. the semantics

absolutely different had jazz ball sonata been there for the passing of the sash. a symbolic move, which always from a brazilian perspective means the peaceful transition of, of power in a country that has been beset by decades and decades of dictatorship is, is something that will overshadow the rule of a learning the future. no, no, much to the contrary. i think that you really taints both scenarios image as somebody who's not fully committed to the democratic principles of result. both on adul fled the country a couple of days before losing operation. he had already said he wouldn't pass the sash to, to lula, which in itself is, is the rupture with the democratic protocols. and the fact that he spent 2 months after losing the elections without saying a word and stimulating his supporters to, to keep protesting in camping in front of military headquarters. this in itself

is a terrible sign for, for boss on out if you wants to run for president again, back in 2026. so i think that roller, if he leaves the inauguration process stronger than he enter it, because he, while he has, he received the sash from members of brazil, civil society. and so that was very symbolic. i think. and lola managed the way to get around the absence of the former president. so that was a good thing. you know, fortunately, brazil doesn't have a tradition of presidents elected president passing the session was elected president. this has only happened once in 35 years, but still i think it was very symbolic moment that buller could take the most of it is that we're talking about whole scenario. who has refused to concede

unequivocally. i raise a huge influence over his own supporters. could this be enough to maintain the tension similar is simmering in brazil? this is the big question. what will happen now with all his supporters, as one of the colleagues said previously, it is very unlikely that all those who voted for both from our own where fervent supporters of both for now. but there is, he has a strong, a number of supporters who will remain in the streets and who might get support from other sectors from prison in society. and the weather also now will be their leaders or not. is the big question. he remained silent for a couple of months. he left the country. he will be out of the country for a month,

at least. so this will very likely have an impact on his stature as the leader of your position. if you listen to your political advisors wanted him to address the people to believe, to present himself as the leader of the future. opposition. he did none of that, and he surprised us in the past most, and he managed to become a president against the expectations of most everyone who was following the electoral processing back in 2018 until august of 2018. but so he surprised us in the past very many times. he surprised his score in the elections last year's elections was also very surprising. ready shocking, he might surprises in future,

but for the time being he last he lost some stature and she lost some influence over the voters who voted for venice. yes, luna said that there is no spirit of revenge. however, he made it clear that those who made mistakes would have to one of those mistakes. now when you look at milton arrow, he faces his length to 5 separate inquiry inquiries. is it an indication that is likely to be prosecuted in the near future? just a matter of time r e i believe it is. and if we should remember as well that yesterday there and integration, one sounds that came from the crowds was cra shouting, no amnesty, no amnesty minnie, exactly that. the population that support lula as well. they want some responses for what about what happened in brazil does less 40 years. so bushel now has no no sort of immunity that he had before as as impede brazil. he is now needs to respond

in the common justice. so i believe that a very, very soon after deed integration, that's this week already. maybe both are we start to face some sort of inquiries from the justice. we should remember as well that one of the 1st actions of lou lane, his government, to day worse or yesterday even was to, to suspend all the, the secrecy that also not established over some of his decisions. secret, dears. so what we will probably see is some sort of inquire and probably some sort of prosecution against abortion out in the coming months or ears less. try to unpack what happens next for brazil glare me. now, lyla, made it clear that here will undo all of the legacy of balsa. now let's take step by step analysis. what happens next when it comes to the deforestation of the amazon? what is he? what is he likely to do here?

well, i think that there are 2 paths that lula is very likely to follow right now. the 1st path is international lula has traveled to the cop call, 27 meeting in cairo, and terminal shape story in egypt 2 months ago. so there was a clear demonstration that low will return to brazil's previous commitments on, on climate change in all the environments commitments that brazil, and that the bush and ministration has basically destroyed over the last 4 years. and the 2nd path is domestic. one of the things that we saw honorable sonata was the dismantling of pretty much every single environment. it protection agency, the, the regulatory agencies, the, the environmental legislation. they have been destroyed by both sonata and lula, will probably re instate the firm legislation on the environment. of course,

it's going to make many people, many organized groups, very upset, specially bills, predatory groups in the amazon and organized crime in another other sets of groups . but i think it's very important to demonstrate domestic commitment to the environment, and of course is going to bring many farmers and many people involved with the amazon to his coalition by offering them sustainable alternatives that also natalie have simply disregarded. so i think le has a very positive track record on environmental protection. if we look back into the early 2, thousands lula was responsible for the greatest reduction in forest clearing in the amazon over his time in office. so i think it's challenging, but of course little is up to the challenge is it was very emotional when he was talking about poverty in his country. but how can the man and of a political party the work of parties that has been tainted by corruption charges

has been in power for 13 years until the impeachment of german rules have. how can the party of the and under president beach out of the people convinced them that they are genuine about the need to clamp down on poverty? well this has been a very long standing committee for the 1st time he reached out back in 2002. he spoke about so hunger, so and this time he's speaking about inequality. so i think that these are very strong messages for him as an individual, as a person who migrated from their number go to a sample and went through very difficult personal times. ready and then who was a union leader? so all of these speak to him very, very personal way. and so this is i'm, this is a commitment of the party that is very important. so i think that i,

as someone also said previously here we are people we believe in deeds not saying what he's saying, but he, so he will need to translate this, these words to deeds. but he started already doing that by negotiating this transition or remaining with the 600 rail support to the poorest people in the popular in the brazilian population. so he made that a priority even before he became effective, the president, which shows a his commitment. ok, course people in the country. venice is today replicate the same achievement or 2003 when brazil came out strong economically with an unprecedented economic growth. well, lulu is taken at brazil in a, in

a world that's not the same ward that he had in 2003. so the economic crisis today that affects the entire planet, it starts in very hardly in brazil as well. so we need to take that into consideration. bill is not returning to the brazil that he had 20 years ago. so the challenge are bigger now than it has been in the past. and even in aspects like environmental phase, if you allow me to return to this point, i think what to remember as well that at the same time, 20 years ago, marina silver was the minister of environment. and she left few months after the beginning of the government because of this agreement with what has been really acting as policies towards the environment in that 1st luna's government. so lula will have now as well to prove that his government will be not the same as it has been 20 years ago, because there was also some negative aspects that happened in the time in environmental terms as well. it's the pure that brazil beautifully bella wanted

them that had a huge impact environmentally to the region of the amazon year in brazil. so i think was aspects needs to be taken into consideration towards not the same one. and we hope that lulu not to try to repeat the government he did 20 years ago, specially correcting the wrong doings, or at least the mistakes that has been made. 20 years ago. dilemma the fact that there is a left this wave now in latin america with 6 of the regions, several largest countries. electron, leftist leader says 2018. could this be good news for lyla? while i think so, i think it's a window of opportunity. let me just pick up on what of uses has just said, i think that because the world is different and because brazil is not the same as the one of 20 years ago. brazil is no longer an emerging country as he used to be. i think that the focus of brazil's foreign policy will be pretty much on the regent

. so low will have to revitalized regional integration mechanism such as marcus or an eunice or brazil abandon units are back in 2019. so i think it's high time for brazil to revamp these regional institution or institutional regions. the gratian institutions, and of course, one of the greatest challenges regarding south america is to overcome finished, well as human, terry and political and economic crisis. so in order to bring south america back again, in order to use this pink tide that has swept across south america, positively lula will have towards relative neurons rises and that must be his original priority. number one in his out briefly, if you don't mind, he would have to revoke also know that his revoking what's not as gun laws immediately here, we'll have to tackle education and health, particularly when it comes to health. we know what happened in the past was 700000

people who lost their lives to cove in 1009. people say that was one of the biggest mistakes of the ballston. our government is going to been easy. vied for for luna. it won't be easy from no point of view from the point of view from the international parts of your from economic point of view from. ready from the governing point of view, it wants to be an easy task, but fucking the is up to the challenge. the manager been very strong. her coalition, he managed to bring very, very smart people to his government, his minister of how jason, all of these individuals have a long speech experience. and i've shown that didn't know what they're speaking about. so his team is a top notch team and he has good wiseman the history and the background that allowed him to

work with president in order to negotiate different things that really a lot easier to go through. he's really hard and time will tell us if that would be able to deliver on the promise is that he made finish. yes. my yeah, because i own is on the saudi. good, because i was, i really appreciate you and i thank you and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time for visiting our website and dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha. inside story, or join the conversation on twitter. i'll 100 is i j inside 40 from the hash amount about the entire team here in the uh huh. bye for now. ah
