| Description | Brazil and Nicaragua have expelled each other’s ambassadors in a tit-for-tat diplomatic row, as Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, appears to recalibrate his approach to authoritarian leftist rulers who were once seen as allies.
The dual expulsions this week came amid growing tensions between Lula and another supposedly progressive leader, Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, whose claim of re-election the Brazilian president has yet to acknowledge. Lula and his counterparts in Colombia and Mexico have called on Maduro to release voting tallies from all polling stations to support his win.
On Thursday, Brazil announced the expulsion of the Nicaraguan ambassador as an “application of the principle of reciprocity” following Nicaragua’s decision to expel the Brazilian ambassador two weeks ago. |
