Brazilian professor Ricardo Seitenfus spoke about the current situation while visiting Le Nouvelliste to promote his book “Écrits à contre-courant au fil du temps,” which he will be signing this Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the La Pléiade bookstore. He notably commented on the position expressed by the United States regarding the actions of several presidential advisors seeking to remove the prime minister just days before the end of their mandate.

According to Mr. Seitenfus, the American position may seem harsh, but it is clear. “The American position has the advantage of being clear, for the first time. It is not diplomatic. It is abrupt. Quite harsh. It is not diplomatic, but it is real,” he began.
