The victory of Lula Da Silva in the presidential elections in Brazil will change the panorama of the relationship between the South American giant and Venezuela, since in recent years under the Government of Jair Bolsonaro, there was a confrontation with Nicolás Maduro. Manuel Vicente Vadell will have the responsibility of representing the Chavista government in these first months of rapprochement between the two countries
The ruler Nicolás Maduro reported during the night of this Thursday, December 22, that he had appointed Manuel Vicente Vadell as Venezuela’s ambassador to Brazil, who will begin his duties in that position as of January 1, 2023.
The information was shared by the ruler in a Twitter post, in which he detailed that he had a prior meeting with Vandell before appointing him as ambassador.
«A beautiful night, wrapped up in the Christmas cold in our capital city, I met with the Lcdo. Manuel Vicente Vadell, who brought me very good news. I have decided to designate him as the new Ambassador of Venezuela in the Federative Republic of Brazil, as of January 1, 2023,” reads the tweet.

The new official —who had experience as a consul in the city of Sao Paulo— will begin his work from the moment that Lula Da Silva, president-elect of Brazil, takes office on the first day of 2023, an event in which it is expected that Nicolás Maduro is not there due to a ban implemented by the outgoing president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

After winning the general elections in Brazil in the second round, on October 30, Lula Da Silva is preparing to once again assume the presidency of Brazil, after being in command of the Executive of that country in the periods 2003-2006 and 2007-2010.
Da Silva was imprisoned in March 2016 for alleged corruption crimes related to the Petrobras scandal, a Brazilian company that paid politicians to obtain tenders for projects in that country during the Da Silva government, but was released in 2019 and in 2020 He declared him innocent in a trial full of irregularities.
Two years after his release, Da Silva decided to run as a candidate for the Brazilian presidential elections and won against the right-wing Bolsonaro, which implies a radical change in relations between Venezuela and Brazil, since under Bolsonaro’s mandate, the Brazilian government recognized Juan Guaidó as interim president and maintained a frontal stance against the Maduro administration.
Now Maduro will have one of his political allies in South America, so the relationship with the South American giant must change. The first approach in this paradigm shift will be in the hands of Vadell.
