Only Left Can Better LatAm’s Life and Economy, Says Brazilian President’s Aide

The progress made in recent years in the process of South American integration is linked to progressive political projects, especially Brazil’s, in the view of the head of the presidential office staff, minister Luiz Dulci, who is participating this week in the American edition of the 6th World Social Forum, in Caracas, Venezuela.

Dulci believes that, although Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva may not have had a direct influence on the election of the large number of leftist presidents who currently hold office in South America, the Brazilian president worked for 25 years on behalf of the continent’s political integration and may have served as an "inspiration" to other politicians.

Dulci says that he, personally, is exulting over the continent’s current political configuration. "It makes us very happy that the left is advancing in South America and Latin America. It is a sign that these societies have an ever-growing level of political consciousness and that they are more and more aware of the problems and challenges they face. This unveils new horizons for our continent."

According to the Minister, the existence of this state of affairs is directed linked to the progress of the integration process on the continent.

"It is clear that, the more leftist heads of State there are in Latin America, the better the outlook for integration and the better the prospects for economic and social progress. That is undeniable," he affirmed.

According to Dulci, the Left is internationalist by definition, whereas the right "is incapable of looking beyond itself." "The causes of social progress and justice around the world are led by the Left."
