Analyzes at the beginning of November showed that his condition is stable. At the time, Lula was active, for example going to Montevideo to negotiate a trade deal with Mercosur. However, this injury forced him to cancel his trip to Russia for the BRICS summit in Kazan, as doctors advised him to temporarily avoid long-haul flights.
