And saudi arabia publishes plans to sell shares in its giant oil company around but along with the risks might put off investors. Brazils formulate a lula december is rallying his supporters against the giant paulson r. O. Government hes condemning the right wing president s policies and is calling on the left leaning parties to take back the presidency at the next election to rise above reports. Was received as a hero in that matter the gamble in the state of how. If there is one place where the former Labor Union Leader is loved it is here and. I want to build this country with the same happiness the. We built it when we govern this country my dream isnt to solve my problems today im a guy that doesnt have a job a president without a pynchon not even a television in my apartment my life is totally blocks the only thing im serious in all of is that i have more courage to fight them before on thursday the Supreme Court said convicted criminals should exhaust all their options to defend their case before going to prison this benefited new law and many others but lula has not been absolved and still faces at least 7 other cases against him was in the last president ial election was already lost lots of civil war its because of the car wash corruption investigation involves some of them i dont know that you love the field was out in spite of its legal troubles and the states many here believe that he is the man to challenge joey was when i was presidency i was. Says lula is the only one that can say brazil sposato is most afraid of them and thats over the because he is our representative hes our leader and this country will change flew a 0 with. That beautiful woman or outside. But in the capitol. Thousands marched through. To protest against their last release they condemned the Supreme Courts decision and are calling for a change in the law that would imprison those who lose their case in a 1st opinion was a 1101 year that even as there is so much impunity in brazil and we want things to change we are denouncing the decision so looking go back to prison. Jay towards the nano ask his followers on twitter not to give ammunition to a man he called the scoundrel he also defended his minister of justice as your model as a judge let the car wash corruption investigation his impartiality unless case has been questioned and thats why lula is requesting a retrial brazil is polarized between those who love and want him back in the presidency. And those who are angry with the corruption that happened while he was in office. He is planning his political comeback hes already. The biggest political rival. That is i want. Sober not of the gamble brazil. Lets discuss this further james green is director of Brazil Initiative at Brown University joins us on skype from Providence Rhode island nice to have you with us as were seeing to brazil right now rival protests some for lula some against him i wanted to give me your assessment of the level of support that lula would have and how much of a threat that is to balsam araa. So in the last election allure was not able to run and so in his stead ran up person who is the former of some polo and a former minister of education going on the hunt and in 2nd round he got 45 percent of the votes of those people quote it also not about 55. 00 so the country is very polarized unlearnt clearly has more popularity than any other candidate of the Workers Party but unfortunately i think there will be a real strong effort to try to prevent him from running in the elections which will be held in 3 years if any of the cases of goes to the Supreme Court and hes found guilty hell lose his Political Rights for 10 years and therefore not be able to run in the elections i want to ask about that what is his legal situation you cant run an election while he has these convictions needs the convictions khwaja if he has an appeal process on the why does he keep that process going does he step back and become the kingmaker rather than the king doesnt build this public support to get momentum behind him whats the strategy and whats his legal position. Well i dont know is strategy im not one for im not a member of yours in his Kitchen Cabinet or people that are talking to him directly but its clearly the case that the right is very much against any possibility of his being a candidate for president the Supreme Court had actually reverse a decision which an old the possibility of as his running and therefore he was imprisoned and then they just change that position again its very likely but between now and 2024 or 22. 00 when the elections are going to be held that one of his cases will will go to his final appeal the Supreme Court and if hes convicted convicted in any any of these cases there juggins to him he would not be allowed to run for president i assume that he is going to do this time when hes free to mobilize and strengthen the Workers Party and unite the left around him but i think its pretty unlikely that it will be counted at 3 years hes going to of course p. B. Touring around the country where is the the strongest bice for his supporters you see it is that in the cities or as we go are we going to see as he moves away from the city into the rural areas that you start to see that there is strong levels of support for him there. So its biggest base of support in the last elections is in the northeast where looking from the poorest area of the country traditionally and he has already winning support there he also has support in the rural areas that you mention but i think since hes got interest and for over 500 days hes is his prison imprisonment created a more iconic figure around my thinking is has a lot more support and popularity and im predicting hundreds of thousands or millions of people clamoring to see him in a series of dance that hell be organizing im assuming throughout the country in the in the succeeding months and that will also strengthen the unity of the Workers Party and the coalition thats going around that to support his candidacy or the candidate see in the administration lections it will be held this next year and in preparation for the 22. 00 National Elections thats a pretty idea time thank you so much for being able to appear on the program today my pleasure thank you police in several believe in cities have joined protests over the disputed reelection of president evo morales one of the. Guards outside the president ial palace were among those who left their posts while those denounced the move accusing police of staging a coup the defense minister said no military action weve taken against them its the 3rd week of violent demonstrations around this is accused of rigging last months election to secure a 4th term.
