Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's increasing involvement in the country's corporate sector is causing concern among investors. Lula's recent comments on major companies like Vale and Petrobras have raised alarms, with a fund manager noting the impact on the economy. Despite this, Lula has launched the 'Democratizing Federal Government Property' program. The situation has also led to Brazil and Colombia criticizing Venezuela over election-related issues.
