Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva extended best wishes to the newly elected government in Argentina, without making direct mention of President-elect Javier Milei, who has previously criticized Lula and labeled him an "angry communist." Argentina is a great country and deserves all our respect. Lula said that democracy is the voice of the people and "it must always be respected," congratulating the institutions and the Argentine people for the "orderly and peaceful" process.
