Lula and Macron show harmony in Brazil, although disagreement persists over the Treaty between Mercosur and the EU. Macron and Lula announced a €1 billion plan for the Amazon, including parts of the French Guiana rainforest.
The situation in Venezuela was also a meeting point for the leaders, who urged the Nicolás Maduro regime to guarantee truly free and democratic elections in July. The development and impact of Macron's visit implies a success for Lula, who has repeatedly complained that the leaders of the central countries do not understand what the Amazon is.
