BRAZIL: Finding consensus
In his first speech after being told of his re-election, President Lula da Silva promised to "promote [Brazil's] development by wealth distribution and quality education". He went on to say that "having these aims in mind" he would seek "a national understanding", asking politicians, allied and opposition, "to unite around a common agenda of general interests". In order to "find consensus", Lula said, he would be open for talks with "anyone and everyone". His aim is to build "better relations with congress" so as to "avoid the same mistakes" of his first mandate.
