"The storming of democratic intuitions in Brazil’s capital – the supreme court,
the national congress and the presidential palace – on January 8 further
exposed the deep divide that the nation’s new government has to address.
Newly elected president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, now faces even greater
challenges than he might have expected. Lula’s slogan – “union and
reconstruction” – already recognised this divide.
However, the words in this slogan should not be equated with an amnesty for or
appeasement with the “enemies” of democracy and the rule of law. As Lula said
in a meeting with politicians on January 11:
Any gesture that goes against Brazilian democracy will be punished within
what the law provides for.
There are five central areas where the government must focus on to unite and
reconstruct the country and deepen democracy."
