Neutral ruler


Ones of the presidents of Latin American that I admire very much is Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is very much the contrary of Venezuela or Cuba. I believe Brazil is going to progress to the second American type in South-America, as he believes capitalism is fine. With free trade there are equal benefits for both sides. Even though he is a left-center wing, he still works with those who aren’t socialist. He works with many countries like the U.S or European countries to keep the investments and political affairs strong. Anything that Venezuela or Cuba believes is unacceptable because they believe it interferes with the progress of socialism within their countries. But as Lula said to a newspaper, “Soy de izquierda, pero el gobierno no es de izquierda y gobierna en función de la correlación de fuerzas políticas.” Meaning, “I’m left-wing, but my goverment is not a left-wing and we govern base on function correlation of strong politics”. This means he pratices a mixed form of capitalism and socialism at the same time for the good of the country.
