Sérgio Moro: However, I know how to make that distinction: I will not leave a Brazilian embassy post vacant, nor will I block career progression—often a promotion or the placement of an ambassador at a necessary post abroad—because of my disagreements with the presidential diplomacy of the current Government.
Sérgio Moro: This presidential diplomacy has been increasingly disastrous.
Within the span of a week, we saw Lula visit Argentina and choose, instead of honoring Mercosur agreements, instead of seeking a harmonious relationship with his Argentine counterpart, President Milei, to carry out a childish provocation: he sought out the corrupt Cristina Kirchner, convicted by the Argentine judiciary, a person we all know to have a bad reputation, and went there to embrace her and even pose for ridiculous photos asking for her freedom.
Sérgio Moro: A disrespect to the Argentine judiciary, a disrespect to President Milei, a disrespect to Mercosur.
Sérgio Moro: If we had been left with only that episode, it would already have been embarrassing enough, but in its wake we had the BRICS meeting here in Rio de Janeiro, depleted.
