Enquanto atiram pedras em FHC e Serra por ódio mesmo, a turma dos jornalistas sem visão deixou passar uma
bombinha relativamente grande.
"
BRASÍLIA (Reuters) - A equipe de transição anunciou nesta quarta-feira mais quatro ministros do governo Dilma Rousseff, incluindo o novo chanceler, Antonio Patriota.
Também foram confirmadas as escolhas de Fernando Pimentel para o Ministério do Desenvolvimento, Indústria e Comércio Exterior e Aloizio Mercadante para a pasta de Ciência e Tecnologia. Nelson Jobim seguirá como ministro da Defesa.
Foi anunciado ainda Giles Azevedo, como chefe de gabinete da presidente eleita."
Até aí tudo bem, se não fossem os telegramas do
wikileaks:
"The CDA paid a courtesy call November 18 on Brazilian
Ministry of External Relations (MRE or Itamaraty)
Secretary-General (Deputy Minister) Antonio Patriota.
Patriota has just taken up his duties following three years
as Brazil,s ambassador to Washington. Patriota said he sees
great potential for U.S.-Brazil relations to develop, but
stressed the need for high-level USG visits and a
comprehensive strategic bilateral mechanism in order to avoid
the appearance of neglect and to minimize the negative
affects on U.S.-Latin America relations of the Honduras
situation and the U.S.-Colombia bases agreement. Patriota
raised concerns about a pending Tropical Forests Conservation
Act agreement and defended Brazil,s invitation to Iranian
President Ahmadinejad (reftel). Unlike his anti-American and
obstructionist predecessor, Patriota is eager to engage the
United States. But he will do so on the basis of a
traditional Itamaraty nationalist perspective that remains
cautious and often suspicious regarding U.S. actions and
motives.
Patriota began by saying -- and repeated twice more
over the course of the conversation -- how important it is
for U/S Bill Burns to visit Brazil before the end of the
year, so that Brazil can receive Secretary Clinton and
President Lula early in 2010. He noted that President Lula
will be traveling a great deal in the first semester of 2010,
and that the second semester will be out of the question in
light of Brazil,s October elections. Patriota said the
high-level visits are important for the tone of the
relationship with Latin America as a whole, and Brazil in
particular. They will allow our differences to be seen
within a larger, and overall, positive context. Although he
has been the first to stress quality of contact over
quantity, he said there is a growing sense of neglect, which
is made worse by disagreements over Honduras and the
U.S.-Colombia base agreement. "We need new developments," he
said."
Claro que o atual chanceler está certíssimo. Errados estão os
puxa-sacos e
espalhadores de boatos que pululam a internet. E nem vou falar de jornalistas "sérios".
