Lula para inglês ver

Legal a matéria da BBC sobre a eleição de Lula, mostrando como a coisa está sendo vista de fora, falando dos desafios que o novo presidente vai encontrar e do tal do medo que muita gente tem dele.

So the first thing he has to do is to reassure financial markets and businesses that he intends to stick to fiscal austerity.

On the other hand, he faces pressure from a hard core of left-wing supporters for a series of changes: protection for ailing industries, a more inward-looking trade policy and mass expropriation of land to benefit the poor.

In the short term at least, these conflicting pressures are irreconcilable.

Most Lula voters are not interested in ideology.

They appreciated the positive changes brought about by the outgoing administration - especially the end of high inflation - but they want more jobs, better health and education and less violence on the streets.

Even here Lula has a problem. Such improvements take time, and after the high expectations he has generated, he may leave many people disappointed.
