Can you tell us more about Lula and the workers party in general? We seldom hear criticism of him from the left in the U.S. As a Brazilian, stuff you take for granted is probably completely unknown to the rest of us. I had the general impression that he had moved somewhat right -but that is all. What is he for and against these days? What remains of his program that has the world financial community actively campaigning against him?
Thanks
