Earlier, the results of the Brazilian election were released. Former President Lula defeated the current president Bolsonaro and became the next Brazilian president. If nothing unexpected happens, he will start taking office and performing his duties in January 2023.
In recent years, there have been problems with the domestic economic development of Brazil and the political struggle is also fierce. Half of the reason why Lula was elected as the new Brazilian president was his ruling philosophy, which is more in line with the interests of middle and lower-class voters, and the other half was attributed to the current President Bolsonaro's failure to respond well to the epidemic.
So, from the perspective of Brazil's domestic political struggle, it is not that easy for Lula to be elected as the new Brazilian president. What he will face next is the situation in Brazil, which is still relatively complicated.
Reasonably, in this case, the newly elected president should focus on domestic affairs and win the support of other countries internationally for himself, but Lula did the opposite. Within 24 hours of his election, he "fired" the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
According to Russian media reports, after Lula won the election, he claimed that Brazil would once again strive to govern the world, let more countries join the Security Council , and abolish the veto power that undermines the balance between countries.
The Security Council’s “one-vote veto” power is the fundamental power that distinguishes the Five Constant People from other countries. It is also called the “ scepter ” by some Western media in the hands of the five permanent members of the United Nations.
Although the United States has been trying to restrict or even deprive Russia of its veto after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, it is obviously unrealistic to let the Five Constables hand over the veto. At least Russia has made a public statement that veto is the foundation of the permanent member of the United Nations.
The implication is naturally that if anyone wants to deprive Russia of its veto, it is equivalent to publicly declaring the breakup of the United Nations.
The newly elected president of Brazil now points directly to the "veto power" of the five permanent members, which clearly shows that he wants to be the "thorn" of the United Nations. What benefits does this have to do to himself and even Brazil?
In fact, as a politician and a politician who has served as the former president of Brazil, Lula certainly would not do anything nonsense. When he took office, he "fired" the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council . There is naturally a reason.
From the perspective of Brazil's domestic perspective, Brazil is deeply affected by the epidemic, the downward pressure on the economy has increased, and the people are living in poverty. In addition, the outflow of funds caused by the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike and financing difficulties. It can be said that Lula took over a Brazil that is in a mess. In this case, seeking international aid is one of the inevitable choices of the Brazilian government.
But now global economy has encountered problems. There are so many countries that are seeking aid in the United Nations, and Brazil itself is one of the " BRICS countries ". In other words, it is more miserable. Brazil cannot compare with other small countries. For example, recently Caribbean small country Haiti . The government has been besieged by gangs and begged for mercy and requested the Security Council to send troops to peacekeeping. How could Brazil compete with these countries for aid?
For example, Ukraine is now supported by Europe and the United States and consumed with Russia. The United States and EU In order to aid Ukraine, even the annual chairman of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund gave to the Ukrainian Finance Minister. This basically means that Ukraine is looking at it. Faced with such countries that are still "useful" to Europe and the United States, it is difficult for Brazil to compete for aid.
objectively cannot compete with others, so you can only exert your subjective initiative. The so-called crying children have milk. As one of the countries of BRICS, Brazil has a fuss at the United Nations, and does not specifically target a certain country, but directly targets the Five Constables of the United Nations. In order to appease Brazil, the Five Constables said that they would take the lead in considering global aid and even make compromises with Brazil. After all, no one wants to be annoyed every day, right?
So from the perspective of Brazil, Lula attacked the Five Permanents of the United Nations as soon as she was elected. It is precisely based on Brazil's national conditions that she finds ways to provide assistance.
Secondly, from an international perspective, Brazil, as the hope of being the developing country of , , has been sluggish in recent years by domestic economic problems and has lagged far behind India and China.
Needless to say, China has now become the world's second largest economy. Even India has a better international reputation than Brazil.
After Lula was elected president of Brazil, to change this state, he must first re-establish Brazil's status as a major power internationally. However, a major power does not mean that it is big, it must be recognized by other countries.
Now, Lula has taken the veto power of the Five Constables of the United Nations as soon as he came up, which is actually putting Brazil in the position of leading other small and medium-sized countries around the world and striving for fair rights.
No matter whether this power can be won, Brazil said this and expressed dissatisfaction with the Five Constant People, which proves that Brazil has a second only to the Five Constant People, and is willing to consider the majority of small and medium-sized countries.
In short, Lula is a way to enhance Brazil's national influence.
fight for aid funds for the country and raise Brazil's status internationally. Lula has not officially taken over, but has seen extraordinary actions. For the Brazilian people, this may really be a hope!
