He added that with the new presidency of Luiz Inácio da Silva “Everything is going to be easier, because Lula is as convinced as I am of the need for the integration of the continent. Lula believes in Mercosur as I do.”

The Argentine President remarked the “importance” of the relationship of both countries: “We have economies that are closely linked in many areas and we know that, working together, we can be great suppliers of food to a world that demands it.”
Fernández reiterated that even in “the most complex moments” he often felt “mistreated” by former President Bolsonaro“but I have always remained silent to preserve the link between Argentina and Brazilbecause it doesn’t make sense for that bond to be destroyed by someone who mistreats another”.
