All articles will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.
Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.
In this community we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.
Submissions should not be about an individual country's domestic policies. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could affect the geopolitical system.
Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.
Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.
We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.
We encourage comments to be cited.

Didn't even get past the first sentence before the first misspelling of foreign words lol.
How should they be spelled, out of interest?
It's not exactly a misspelling because "fervo" is a valid Portuguese word, but it's not what the author probably means. "Fervo" is the singular first person, present tense, of the verb "ferver" (to boil), as in "eu fervo a água" ("I boil the water"). The cultural element, which is probably what the author intended to say, is spelled "frevo".
Edit: there's another misspelling I found, "Janiero". It's actually "Janeiro", "Rio de Janeiro".
Like the other user pointed out, it's the "frevo". It's a musical and dancing style typical to carnaval in the northwestern state of Pernambuco (which is also where Lula is from). Here's a short clip, it's pretty cool.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
