The president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, expressed his concerns regarding the upcoming elections in Venezuela, particularly in response to warnings from Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Lula highlighted the importance of respecting the electoral process to avoid potential violence and ensure a peaceful transition of power.
Maduro, facing significant opposition in the elections, has framed the contest as a choice between 'peace and war,' threatening a 'bloodbath' if he loses. Lula's remarks come as he prepares to send observers to the elections, emphasizing the need for a democratic process to restore economic stability in Venezuela.
