Former leftist Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva urged Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to "not allow the mistake of isolating Venezuela ."

Lula said he was not following closely the Venezuelan situation or having recently talked with Maduro , but explained that in 2013, when the Venezuelan president assumed power as the political heir of the late Hugo Chávez, he sent him a letter "saying what I thought was prudent that he did to harmonize Venezuela . "

But "for reasons that (Maduro ) should not explain to me, he did not adopt them," said the leader, who along with Chávez and Bolivian Evo Morales incarnated the wave of leftist governments at the beginning of the century in Latin America.

"Comrade Maduro has to consider that we need to think about Venezuela's economy with great affection, because Venezuela needs supplies, it needs to generate a lot of employment, it can be industrialized and Maduro can not allow the error to isolate Venezuela to happen."

Lula (2003-2010), which faces a delicate judicial situation and aspires to measure itself in the presidential elections of October, opined that "Venezuela needs to open up to South America, for other countries, to associate with other governments, because worse than an expensive product on the shelf of a supermarket is not having the product on the shelf. "

"Venezuela's problem is Venezuela's, the United States does not have to threaten Venezuela, Brazil does not have to threaten Venezuela, it's already difficult to develop this continent with peace, it will be much warier," he warned.

According to official estimates, some 40,000 Venezuelans are living in the capital of the border state of Roraima, many of them in conditions of indigence.
