food Monsanto seeks to establish itself in Mexico during 2016, to this end it is encouraging the government to include the use of genetically modified seeds in its agrarian reform. Monsanto's director for Latin America, Manuel Bravo, told El País that once they resolve the problems in court, they will focus on promoting the issue on the current agenda managed by the Executive. “The Government has been very clear about the importance of these technologies in the field,” he told the Hispanic media. The Peña Nieto administration has as one of its main reforms the modification of the agrarian legislation in that country, which allows its modernization. A promise that dates back to 2014 and that has not yet been carried out. One of the pitfalls of Monsanto in Mexico is the high level of rejection that the company and its products have among citizens. A study by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography estimated that 73.9% of the Aztec population is against the use of genetically modified seeds. The other problem for Monsanto is the Supreme Court of Mexico , because it rejected the permit given to them by the central government for the commercialization of soybeans, ordering to paralyze the planting of more than 250 thousand hectares.

Likewise, they are investigating payments made by the Lula Institute and the conference company to companies that have the former Bahamas Mobile Number List president's children as partners. Lula said he felt “outraged” by the suspicions raised. “If the PF (Federal Police) found a real deviation in my behavior, I do not deserve to be part of this party,” he said at the PT headquarters. During the day there were moments of tension when supporters and critics of Lula demonstrated in São Paulo, with some violent clashes between them. At night, the former president participated in an event at the headquarters of the bank employees' union in São Paulo, where he spoke to hundreds of activists about the adversities he faced in his life.
I became the best president in the entire world at the beginning of the 21st century,” he said and mentioned actions he took for the poorest, while in the streets of Rio there were pot-banging attacks against him. “If they want to defeat me, they are going to have to face me in the streets of this country,” he said. “If someone thinks they are going to silence me with persecution and denunciation, they do not know that I survived hunger.” Plagued by scandals and with the Brazilian economy in a fierce recession, Lula seems far from the great popular support he had a short time ago. However, until a few days ago, polls showed that Lula had around 20% of voting intentions and analysts believe that this base would grow if he manages to clear himself of suspicion. “If the situation changes and proves that he is innocent, the hero myth resurfaces,” said political scientist Antonio Teixeira. “That's what he's trying to show, the image of someone who is being persecuted.”
