O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva confirmou nesta quinta-feira, 27, que visitará o “amigo" Luis Arce, presidente da Bolívia, em julho para defender a democracia após o fracassado golpe de Estado no país. Lula disse em entrevista à rádio Itatiaia que estará na cidade boliviana de Santa Cruz de la Sierra no dia 9 de julho para “fortalecer Luis Arce, fortalecer a democracia”.
A viagem do presidente à Bolívia foi marcada antes de um grupo de soldados se mobilizar nesta quarta-feira, 26, no centro do poder em La Paz, em uma tentativa frustrada de derrubar Arce.
O encontro entre os dois líderes deverá focar em questões comerciais e projetos de integração entre os países vizinhos, e haverá um encontro com empresários bolivianos.
Lula afirmou que a Bolívia atrai “muitos interesses internacionais” pelos seus importantes recursos de lítio e gás, e que “as pessoas têm que ter em mente que há interesses em dar um golpe de Estado”.
“Sou contra o golpe e a favor da democracia”, disse.
Lula viajará à Bolívia após participar da cúpula do Mercosul em Assunção, no dia 8 de julho.
