the risks of war and Lula’s position on the issue

– Episode of the 15 Minutos podcast talks about the crisis caused by Nicolás Maduro between Venezuela and Guyana and Lula’s position on the issue

*) The situation between Venezuela and Guyana worries South America. Could the continent be experiencing the possibility of an armed conflict?

In this regard, experts still disagree about the chances of dictator Nicolás Maduro starting a military offensive against the neighboring country. However, a few more steps in the escalation of the crisis were taken with last Sunday’s referendum.

Summoned by the Bolivarian dictatorship, the Venezuelan population approved that Venezuela take measures to annex more than 160 thousand square kilometers of territory from neighboring Guyana, west of the Essequibo River. This area corresponds to around 70% of Guyanese territory, over which Caracas has claimed sovereignty since the 19th century.

As a backdrop, the discovery of oil in the region.

Position of Brazil and Lula on the situation between Venezuela and Guyana

In the midst of this entire scenario, Brazil’s position comes into play. The country sent few military personnel to the border region. On the other hand, it is a fact that, since assuming his third term, Lula (PT) made several speeches and took some measures that appeased the dictator Nicolas Maduro.

In this episode of the 15 Minutos podcast we talk about these topics. The guest is the Carinne Souza, from the Republic team here at Gazeta do Povowho writes a report on the topic.
