How Congress reacts to Lula’s speech about Israel

– Episode of the 15 Minutos podcast talks about reactions to Lula’s speech about Israel at the National Congress

*) President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s (PT) statements about Israel also had repercussions in the National Congress. As expected, Lula is criticized by oppositionists and defended by allies.

A clear reflection of the disastrous speech is that it further alienates the president from an audience with which he already has clear difficulty in approaching: evangelicals.

The first demonstrations by parliamentarians and other political actors indicated reinforcement of the repulsion of evangelicals, which tends to be exacerbated by the context of ideological polarization and the electoral scenario.

The escalation of tensions between Lula and evangelical parliamentarians has been occurring since the beginning of his third term, even after several moves aimed at establishing communication channels with one of the largest groups in Congress, especially the Chamber.
