BRASILIA, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has requested a phone call with his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva amid tensions over a contested election, a Brazilian source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.
The news was first reported by local TV channel GloboNews. No date has been set for the call, according to the source.
Is he asking for future asylum or chatting da Silva up for ideas on how to stay in power?
Porque no los dos?
With Maduro’s statements in recent years about invading his neighboring countries, it sounds like for Maduro, anything is on the table.
