Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Brazil's President Lulu da Silva today -- on SEPTEMBER 2nd-2023 -- are both smiling and reading from the same book!! They are both determined to help Cuba survive the devastating, six-decade-old economic blockade of the island by the U. S.
Today -- on September 2nd of 2023 -- Brazil, Latin America's richest and strongest nation -- announced that it is sending a massive delegation of Brazilian businessmen to Havana to spend four days signing business deals with Cuban businesses and with the Cuban government for the purpose of making sure that Cuba recovers from the brutal U. S. economic Embargo that began in 1962 and has recently been expanded by the Trump-Biden administrations. In addition to this, the Cuban-loving Brazilian President Lulu will himself fly to Havana later this month to lead the G-77 Plus China Summit that Cuba organized for September 15th and 16th of 2023!!
The return of Lulu da Silva as the President of Brazil is the best possible gift that Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and the Embargo-deprived citizens of Cuba could have hoped for in 2023. Lulu emerged from a terrible Brazilian prison to win the 2022 presidential election to unseat the dire anti-Cuban President Jair Bolsonaro.
During his four years as President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro was one of the only leaders in the entire world that supported U. S. President Donald Trump's extreme anti-Cuban policies, including putting Cuba on the very short of U. S. List of Nations that Support Terrorism, a List that the current Biden administration has left in place. So...in the U. S. replacing Trump with Biden has not helped soften the USA's ageless Embargo against Cuba, but in Brazil replacing Bolsonaro with Lulu does drastically soften the U. S. Embargo that three generations of Cubans have called a Blockade.
Prior to the extreme anti-Cuban Trump-Bolsonaro alliance, the four straight presidential elections in Brazil had elected two extreme pro-Cuban Presidents -- Lulu da Silva from 2003 till 2010 and, when he was not eligible to run for a third 4-year term, his top aide, the Cuba-loving Dilma Rousseff, was elected to two 4-year terms as President of Brazil. But by the end of her second term President Rousseff was chased from office and former two-term President Lulu was put in prison for a long stretch...but incredibly Lulu emerged from prison to defeat and replace Bolsonaro -- a startling and incredible feat that now in 2023 has Lulu serving his third 4-year term as President of Brazil, the vital Latin American giant!!
This is the six-decade-old EMBARGO of Cuba by its northern neighbor, the United States, which happens to be the strongest and richest nation in world history. The recent presidencies of Trump in the U. S. and of Bolsonaro in Brazil had greatly exacerbated the effects of the EMBARGO in threatening Cubans on the island while enriching and empowering Cubans in Miami and Washington. The image shown above of the EMBARGO is now much less threatening now that Trump and Bolsonaro are no longer Presidents, but the biggest reason in 2023 that Cubans in Cuba are hopeful is...the re-election of Lulu as President of Brazil!!
Out of prison and back as the democratically President of Brazil, the 77-year-old Lulu da Silva in September of 2023 is once again the best friend of Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel and the Cuban people. The drastic change in the political climate in Brazil is the best thing for Cuba as the United States continues to tighten the already draconian sanctions on the largest and most vulnerable Caribban nation.
For the lives of both the Cuban Revolution and Fidel Castro, Brazil's Lulu da Silva has been a staunch supporter of Cuba.
From 2003 till 2010 Lulu da Silva was President of Brazil and then for the next two terms his closest aide Dilma Rousseff was elected President. After that Lulu imprisoned but released and then re-elected President of Brazil, the Latin American giant. The day Lulu was put in prison was an extremely sad day for the Cuban people. But now in September of 2023 the incredible return of Lulu as the current President of Brazil is the happiest development for the Cuban people in a long time!!
