Lula in the US

Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by in Brazilian News, Politics

President Lula is making a big splash in the U.S. this week, where he’s attending several important events.

First, he accepted an award from the Woodrow Wilson Center, where he celebrated with other world leaders. Yesterday, he attended the UN General Assembly in New York, where he gave a long speech (watch and read the speech here). Now he is off to Pittsburgh for the G20 Summit.

Also, Lula was featured in Newsweek this week as “the most popular politician on earth” — read the article here. There’s also a special Q and A section with Lula available on the Newsweek website.

    Sure, but he’s also making a splash in the wrong way:

    Is he? Says who?!
    He’s also defending the interests of Brazil in the nuclear area.
    I see no “splash in the wrong way”.
