Milei plans regional tour seeking investment, with a Bolsonaro visit that irks Lula
Argentine President Javier Milei announced a busy international schedule for the coming weeks, with trips to Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, which he presented as part of an outward-looking strategy aimed at attracting trade and investment. The itinerary includes a gesture toward the Brazilian opposition that is likely to cause discomfort for the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesMilei visiting Bolsonaro in prison? Where did you get that idea? Bolsonaro is under house arrest on humanitarian grounds. For anyone to visit him, it is necessary to request and obtain authorization from the courts—specifically from Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Has Milei obtained that authorization yet? Or is he planning to invade Brasília with the mighty Argentine army?
Jul 10th, 2026 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regarding the government's alleged discomfort—discomfort about what? If he wants to do business with Brazilians, he should offer favorable investment conditions, and business will get done. Simple!

Braz, come on now, obviously Bolsonaro offers a bigger backhander than Lula does. Simple!
Jul 10th, 2026 - 11:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The impression I get is that all right-wing politicians are dishonest. Milei, Trump, Bolsonaro, Noboa, Netanyahu, etc., etc. When they aren't involved in financially profiting from the decision-making process (insider trading, cryptocurrencies), they engage in embezzlement and bribery as if these were natural parts of governing a state.
Jul 11th, 2026 - 10:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just yesterday, the president of the PL—Mr. Valdemar Costa Neto (Bolsonaro’s party)—had R$ 119 million in his bank accounts frozen, along with his assets, due to corruption and the misappropriation of funds derived from “parliamentary amendments.”
The Brazilian far-right isn't a political party; it’s a mafia!

You don't believe me?
As a matter of fact, even I don't believe my rant either.
But you can believe that both Jair and Milei both believe it is possible.
BRasshole,
Jul 11th, 2026 - 08:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0By the sound of your silly comment,
“The impression I get is that all right-wing politicians are dishonest. Milei, Trump, Bolsonaro, Noboa, Netanyahu, etc., etc.”,....
....looks like the relentless brainwashing by the PT - of the masses of ignorant Brazilians, like yourself - seems to quite effective...
You have accused them without one iota of proof, and you conveniently omit the name of the biggest crook in Brazilian history, namely your idol, Luis Ignacio 'lula da Silva, aka Nine-Fingers.
This convicted felon's criminal record is public knowledge - condemned for corruption, he spent 585 days behind bars, until the STF, with complete disregard for the Constitution, managed to release him.
In fact, the brainwashing I refer to above, the pet-project of that idiot Sidônio Palmeira, is nothing less than wide open corruption, disguised as government publicity which, I may add, has cost the taxpayer - from the beginning of 2023 up to June 2026 - no less than R$ 954 million...paid to leftist outlets, such as “O Globo” and to leftist influencers...
Instead of trying to win the hearts and minds of the people through honest, efficient government, the PT's strategy to hold on to power - at any cost - is simply one of lies, distortion of the facts and censorship - the last with the help of the TSE and the STF, full of his corrupt cronies.
In June 2023, during the “Foro de Sâo Paulo”, your idol declared he was “proud to be called a communist”, and recently, at the G7 Summit in France, while trying unsuccessfully to butt into a conversation between IMF President (K. Gorgieva) and the German Chancellor,(F. Merz), he said that he ”had never been a leftist (esquerdista), but a Union Leader“.....gotta be joking !
Have you any idea of how this self-proclaimed ”homem do povo” has spent on himself and his slut of a wife, through his corporate credit card (paid by the taxpayer) ? R$ 1,4 billion... (daylight robbery !)...
“This convicted felon's criminal record is public knowledge”

“Lula’s imprisonment one of the worst mistakes in Brazil’s legal history,” wrote Justice Dias Toffoli in ruling which lowers the final curtain on US-orchestrated Car Wash/Lava Jato Investigation, which helped remove President Dilma Rousseff, jailed her likely successor Lula, and elected neofascist Jair Bolsonaro.“

You're the one who is asserting Lula isn't innocent. ”the burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not on him who denies, (since by the nature of things, he who denies a fact cannot produce any proof). The claimant is always bound to prove: the burden of proof lies on him. Upon the one alleging, not upon him denying, rests the duty of proving. Upon the plaintiff rests the proving or the burden of proof,“

“Pie Face always got the better of you.”
Hardly; “A liar is Always a liar.”
”The following year at another school. I punched out a nine year old gang-leader bully called Pie Face.(I was seven) I was carried around the school on cheering kids shoulders, and Pie Face and his gang were finished.“
”Tell us again about putting little sticks in bicycle wheels as they fly past, most amusing, but impractical.“
Hardly, since my son was never bothered again. See I've always stood up myself and my family when we were wronged.
Unlike you a brown-nosing, snivelling coward.
”When my oldest son was in grade three we discovered he was being beaten up by a gang of kids on bikes. When I complained to school they told me they could do nothing about it, as it hadn't occurred on school property. So I gave the lad some instructions of how to fight when out-numbered. Told him to put some short sticks in his back pocket, and when a bike got close thrust a stick through the front wheel spokes. A number of days later I'm called by the school, and I'm informed there is complaint from the parents of the bullies that their sons had been thumped, as well their bikes had been damaged. When I told the caller it was nothing to do with him as it hadn't occurred on school property. “That's a poor attitude I was told” My reply how dare you, when my son was assaulted by these bullies you could do nothing. But when he avails himself of the right to self-defence, suddenly that's not permissible. Well, I'm not letting you reverse the rules, after setting them once.”
Marvelous, and no Latin, you see, you can use English, you just have to concentrate.
