Emmanuel Macron is having fun with him. The head of state reacted with humor on Thursday evening X to the humorous memes that present him with Lula, the president of Brazil. “Some have compared the images of my visit to Brazil to those of a wedding, I tell them: it was one! France loves Brazil and Brazil loves France!”, wrote the president.

In this photomontage, a netizen used the poster of the romantic movie “Lalaland” replacing Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling with Emmanuel Macron and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil. Lula reacted to the photo with an emoji representing the flags of the two countries and small hearts.

The initial scene existed. During their three-day stay in Brazil, Emmanuel Macron and Lula visited the Amazon forest where they walked hand in hand in Belém, northern Brazil. The two men had shown their closeness with many smiles and warm gestures. The photos were shared on Lula’s social networks. And the scenes of complicity between the 78-year-old Brazilian president and the 46-year-old French president delighted Brazilian Internet users.

Emmanuel Macron spent 3 days in Brazil and increased partnerships with Brazilians: protection and sustainable development of the Amazon, cooperation in the manufacture of submarines, economy… But disagreements persist between the two countries: the trade agreement between the European Union and the European Union. The South American bloc of Mercosur – against a background of anger among French farmers – and the war in Ukraine. Lula believes that responsibilities are shared in Ukraine, and refuses to isolate Russia.
The moment of truth will come at the summit of the G20 heads of state in November in Rio de Janeiro, at a time when the wars in Ukraine and Gaza challenge multilateralism.
