Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is considering a visit to Spain to meet with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez after his trip to the Philippines, according to plans under review at the presidential palace.
If confirmed, the stop in Madrid would come shortly before Spain’s elections, scheduled for Nov. 29. Lula is expected to travel to Spain on Monday, Nov. 16, after his schedule in the Philippines ends Sunday, Nov. 15, and meet with Sánchez before returning to Brazil.
Federal Deputy André Janones, a member of the Rede party representing Minas Gerais, is expected to accompany Lula. Janones led the “Lula Army” during the second-round election comeback, and Sánchez invited him to contribute to the Spanish election campaign after the result.
