On April 10, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s government hit the symbolic 100-day mark.
Throughout the start of the year, we at The Brazilian Report teamed up with the Wilson Center’s Brazil Institute to analyze the government’s achievements and challenges – of which there have been many.
We capped off this Brazil 100 project with a live broadcast on Monday, bringing together a panel of experts to discuss how the Lula government has fared so far, covering issues ranging from Lula’s foreign policy stance to his necessary environmental commitments and the government’s tricky relationship with Congress.
This week on Explaining Brazil, we bring you that conversation. Listen in for expert analysis on what to make of the first 100 days of Lula’s third presidential term, and what to look out for over the next 100 days.
