Lula's first 100 days in Brazil: Inheriting an economically-weak country, returning to the global stage, and reversing the Amazon policies
Apoorva Sudhakar 
 
What happened?
On 10 April, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva marked the first 100 days of his administration after he was sworn in as President in January for the third term.

On 12 April, Lula arrived in Beijing; he said: "Brazil is back...The time when Brazil was absent from major world decisions is in the past. We are back on the international stage, after an inexplicable absence." Lula criticized using the US dollar for international trade and said: "Why should every country have to be tied to the dollar for trade?... Who decided the dollar would be the (world's) currency?"

On 14 April, the Supreme Court ordered former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro to testify on his role in his supporters storming government buildings on 8 January, within ten days. BBC quoted the prosecutors who called for a "full investigation of all acts before and after."
 
What is the background?
First, Lula's election promises and previous presidential victories. Lula narrowly won in October 2022 with 50.9 per cent votes against the 49.1 per cent secured by Bolsonaro. His election promises included tax reforms and increasing minimum wages, eradicating hunger, affordable housing, fair international trade, halting Amazon deforestation, and promoting the rights of indigenous communities. Lula, one of the founders of his Workers' Party, won his presidential bid in 2002 and retained his position until 2010. During his previous tenures, Lula oversaw the economic growth of Brazil and the upliftment of millions from poverty through massive welfare schemes focused on housing, education and nutrition. His presidency also focused on the conservation of the Amazon, unlike his successor from his own party Dilma Roussef and later Bolsonaro.

Second, a polarised Brazil. A week after Lula was sworn-in in January 2023, Bolsonaro supporters stormed the Congress, Supreme Court and the Presidential Palace. Bolsonaro then drew parallels with previous leftist protests and said the protesters escaped at the time. He tweeted: "...depredations and invasions of public buildings as occurred today, as well as those practised by the left in 2013 and 2017, escape the rule." The incident reflected the polarised Brazilian polity. Earlier, Bolsonaro also questioned the transparency of Lula's victory in the elections.

Third, Brazil's economic challenges. With his third win, Lula inherited a country that was struggling economically. According to a news report in Al Jazeera in January, Brazil was witnessing inflation at 16 per cent, and the GDP-to-debt ratio was close to 90 per cent. Since 2020, amid the government's haphazard management of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazil witnessed the return of hunger, wherein at least 33.1 Brazilians faced hunger. To address this, Lula restored the National Council for Food and Nutritional Security, which Bolsonaro had abolished.

Fourth, focus on the environment and indigenous communities. Under the Bolsonaro administration, deforestation in the Amazon, particularly in territories of the indigenous communities, rose manifold. According to the Climate Observatory, deforestation had increaed over 60 per cent since Bolsonaro took over in 2019. Illegal gold mining also rose during the period. Lula promised to restore Amazon's lost green cover and protect the rights of the indigenous community; in February, Lula launched an operation to drive out at least 20,000 illegal miners from the Yanomami reserve. However, at the same time, deforestation in February hit a record high with a 62 per cent increase from February 2022.

 What does it mean?
In the first hundred days of Lula's third term, Brazil is witnessing a reversal of predecessor Bolsonaro's approach, whether on the economic, environmental, social or foreign policy front. Lula's decisions stem from his previous two administrations from two decades ago though Brazil and the international environment have changed drastically. Under Bolsonaro, Brazil witnessed increasing animosity at the global stage; Lula's visit to the US in February and now China indicates an effort to re-engage with external powers, while also standing his ground regarding Brazil's economic prowess.

While there are certain hits, such as the commitment to address deforestation and mining, there are misses, including a growing politically polarised Brazil. Though Lula may have returned with all his charisma, Bolsonaro still wields influence over a large section of Brazilians. While it is too early to assess the impact of Lula's policies, it is certain that the way ahead is also filled with roadblocks.

France: Contended pension reform bill becomes law
Padmashree Anandhan
 
What happened?
On 14 April, the Constitutional Court, upon review of the bill struck down six measures part of the legislation and approved the fundamental rules of the reform. While the opposition's referendum to retain the retirement age to 62 was rejected. France's trade unions released a joint statement to Macron: "Given the massive [public] rejection of this reform, the union's request him solemnly to not promulgate this law, the only way to calm the anger which is being expressed in the country."

On 15 April, France's President Emmanuel Macron signed the pension reform bill into law. A key element was the extension of the age limit to 64 was amended into the social security code. He said: "The country must continue to move forward, work, and face the challenges that await us." After the approval, France's Constitutional Council, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said: "…judged the reform, on the substance as well as procedure, to conform with the constitution." The French government released a statement: "With this reform, the finances of the pensions system will be balanced in 2030. The government now wants to continue talks with [trade unions and other actors] to make work meaningful, improve working conditions and reach full employment."

In response, the opposition leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon said: "The Constitutional Council's decision shows that it is more attentive to the needs of the presidential monarchy than to those of the sovereign people." The leader of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen said: "The political fate of the pension reform is not sealed."

To control the protests and outbursts after the bill was passed, barriers and police were deployed ahead. One of the young protestor's names Lucas aged 27 said: "Making this reform is really short-sighted to me, and it brings up other questions like what are [the president's] priorities?"

What is the background?
First, the failed protests and no-confidence motions. The protests over the pension reform bill proposed by France's President Emmanuel Macron began on 19 January among the French and the opposition parties. Despite months of widespread objection against the bill and violent clashes, the government went ahead to use Article 49:3 to pass the bill without a vote. This triggered two no-confidence motions, the first which was held by left-wing parties, which failed, and on 20 March, the second motion put forward by far-right party leader Marine Le Pen which did not succeed either. This led the bill to clear its way for the review and approval of the Constitutional Council.

Second, elements of the reform. The law aims at reforming the retirement model as the balance between the working and pension-receiving population is off. The signing of the law would mean the rise of the retirement age benchmark from 62 to 64, which has been considered the most controversial. Next would be the mandate to work till 43 age to avail full pension. Both the rules target the older population of France. Whereas another rule part of the reform is an increase in pension contributions from 41 to 43 payments in a year. This is expected to add a little more stress on the working-class population, and this has not been received well among the young French. Apart from the major conditions, the law gives an early retirement for those who began working early, removal of metro drivers from the pension plan and aims to increase the minimum pension range from "EUR 100 to EUR 1200 per month."

Third, the power of the Constitutional Council. The council's decision was highly looked upon by the opposition and the trade union because of its core role. It examines whether the proposed bill aligns with France's previous enactment. The council consists of three women and six men, headed by a socialist Prime Minister. Of the nine, many are centrists and conservatives, with two appointed by Macron. Although the composition of the council does matter in a passing decision, a bill has rarely been rejected by the council since 1959. The usage of Article 49.3 is also another gear of the Council. Till now under Borne, the article has been used nearly 10 times to pass budget decisions without a vote in the parliament. This rule out the doubts over policy decisions which arose when Macron lost the parliamentary elections.

What does it mean?
First, no referendum or revocation. The last-minute referendum filed by the opposition to retain the retirement age limit to 62 was rejected, and with the law now passed, it is an even more complex to revoke the reform. The primary step would be to get support from the parliament members would be a task as the no-confidence motions never succeeded. Even though it seemed a grey area, getting 10 per cent of voters into a petition along with Council's approval and completing all the steps in nine months would be very ambitious.

Second, the opposition's reputation is derailed. The reform bill is majorly viewed as a hit to Macron's popularity; however, Macron's popularity is at its lowest. Still, Macron will gain from questions about the opposition party unity. Failure of the no-confidence motion and a rejected referendum at the council and their failure to address the protestors' concerns will reduce the popularity of opposition parties.

Third, a chaotic France. The labour union who plans to continue the protests through May will be speed breakers for everyday operations in France for upcoming months. But the larger issue would be the question over the overall impact of the social model of France. From the older segment of people to the working class to the youth have raised concerns over the path ahead of France, if it is going to tend its policies to ease problems in budget and businesses while ignoring the social model.

Regional Roundups

East and Southeast Asia This Week
South Korea: Warning shots against North Korean vessel for crossing the NLL
On 14 April, South Korea shot a warning fire towards a North Korean vessel that crossed the maritime border. This comes after weeks of rising tension with escalated North Korean missile tests.

India: IMF predicts a combined debt to GDP to rise over the next four years
On 11 April, IMF released its report titled World Economic Outlook- April 2023. The report reduced India's growth rate by 0.2 per cent to 5.9 per cent. The report also mentioned that India's combined debt-to-GDP ratio would rise a tad to 83.2 per cent in FY24 and will hit a high of 83.8 per cent in FY27 before it starts to moderate. The IMF projected that India's combined fiscal deficit (Centre + states), which hit a high of 12.9 per cent in FY21 will continue to moderate to touch 7.6 per cent in FY29. Deputy director, fiscal affairs department IMF said: "The debt ratio in India right now is 83 per cent, so it's high. The good news is that it is largely in domestic currency held domestically. It's also fairly long maturity, so those are the positives. The other positive is that because we project very strong economic growth into the medium term, that is going to allow the debt to remain stable."

Caucuses: Border clashes in Armenia-Azerbaijan kills seven soldiers
On 11 April, fighting broke out on the Azerbaijan-Armenia border village of Tegh, the deadliest incident since September 2022, leaving four soldiers of Armenia and three of Azerbaijan dead. While Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry called the incident an Armenian "provocation," the Armenian Defense Ministry stated that a group of Azerbaijani soldiers approached Armenian servicemen carrying out engineering work and opened fire on them. Tegh was previously the link between Armenia and Armenian-administered territory of Nagorno-Karabakh through the Lachin corridor. Many call the Tegh escalation a "test" for the EU monitors' credibility.

Syria: March towards Damascus's re-integration in the Arab world
On 15 April, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad visited Algeria as part of the flurry of diplomatic engagements to end Syria's decade-long isolation in the region.

Europe: JUICE Mission successfully launched after a short delay
On 14 April, the European Space Agency (ESA) successfully launched the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) satellite from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana after a delay due to weather conditions. JUICE will be sent on a 6.6 billion km journey, taking 8.5 years to reach the Jovian system, using a series of gravitational slingshots around Venus and Earth to reach its destination. The satellite will study the three largest moons of Jupiter (Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa) remotely, using radar, lidar, magnetometers, and other sensors, as well as taking countless pictures with its cameras. JUICE will also investigate the moons' electrical and magnetic environments and the particles that surround them. NASA's Clipper satellite will conduct similar investigations, with a focus on Europa, and is planned to arrive in 2024. The mission aims to gather more information about potential habitability to inform future missions that could potentially drill through the ice crust of one of Jupiter's moons to reach the water beneath.

The US: Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies ratified by the US
