Which Lula is it this week? In Lisbon, Brazil’s president charmed his hosts in a speech before the Portuguese parliament to mark nearly half a century since the Carnation Revolution that ended the dictatorship there. Lula had raised eyebrows with his recent visit to China, where he accused the US of "encouraging" the war in Ukraine, and then with last week's warm welcome for Russia's foreign minister.
We ask about Brazil's Ukraine stance, and about Lula's claim that Brazil is back after four years of the far right’s Jair Bolsonaro. Portugal, the former colonial power, is happy to welcome the return of a leader who was at the helm during Brazil's boom years of the early 200s, but the world has changed.
