In 2006 the nationalist government of Evo Morales realised the nationalizations of the petrobrás (Brazilian state oil company) in the country. The brazilian government cordially accepted it causing a minor scandal and things proceeded as normal, with this being basically a thing for the right wing to throw in the political debate from time to time, a "weak response".
Ciro Gomes was the underdog in the 2002 election and had a tiny shot chance of being elected that was carefully and efficiently destroyed, allowing Lula to get elected. Let's say that Ciro Gomes had won (an extremely unlikely, but not ASB scenario), and now the nationalizations are about to happen in 2006. Gomes is from the PDT party known for being the party of Getúlio Vargas (who created the petrobrás), and he is known for being hot headed and having temporary rage moments, so how he could react to that? Could he prevent the nationalizations?
