"The Economist": incoerência da postura diplomática brasileira

No editorial sobre Honduras, a revista britânica "The Economist" aponta a contradição gritante da postura diplomática do governo Lula:

"Brazil also did badly. It allowed its embassy to become Mr Zelaya’s campaign headquarters, but failed to achieve his reinstatement. So much for Brazil’s claim never to intervene in the internal affairs of others. This was different, say Brazilian diplomats, because it was a coup. Yet Brazil has snuggled up to Cuba and Iran, stayed silent when Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega stole a municipal election last year, and kept mum as Mr Chávez has neutered the institutions of Venezuelan democracy."

Ou seja, o velho "dois pesos e duas medidas", que nosso governo atual adora usar. Além disso, a revista aponta o verdadeiro risco à democracia na região, que não vem de golpes militares, mas de golpes dentro da própria "democracia", como faz Chávez na Venezuela:

"[...] contrary to Brazil’s claim, the biggest threat to Latin American democracy today is—happily—not coups: it is elected presidents who themselves corrode democracy as, to an extent, Mr Zelaya did. Mr Lobo’s election provides one answer to that, but the way it came about was ugly, damaging and ought not to be repeated."

Aos poucos, a máscara do governo Lula vai cair lá fora também, deixando transparecer a realidade por trás da imagem criada: uma cambada de hipócritas!
