💨 Abstract

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva visited former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who is serving a corruption sentence. Kirchner called the visit a "political act of solidarity," noting that Lula had also faced political persecution. During the Mercosur trade summit, Brazil assumed the bloc's rotating presidency. Kirchner's supporters have rallied outside her apartment, and Lula previously expressed support for her.
