Brazilian Deputy Meets Cristina Kirchner, Urges Defeating Far Right
Brazilian federal deputy André Janones met with former Argentine President Cristina Kirchner in Buenos Aires on Monday, calling for defeating the far right amid rising diplomatic tensions between Argentina and Brazil. Janones, a digital strategist for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, posted a photo of the meeting on social media, writing that together they could defeat the far right. The visit follows Argentina's refusal to publicly recognize Lula's election victory and President Javier Milei's support for Flávio Bolsonaro. Janones previously led Lula's digital campaign, creating a WhatsApp channel with over 10 million followers. Brazil's foreign ministry summoned Argentina's chargé d'affaires over alleged assistance given to Bolsonaro during his escape through Argentina to the United States.
