Foro de São Paulo, 26 years later in 2005, the representative of the FARC in Brazil, Oliverio Medina, was arrested in a joint action between the Federal Police and Interpol. Medina was wanted in Colombia for various crimes - murder, kidnapping and arms smuggling - and the Colombian government requested his extradition. President Lula has not only denied his request and granted the terrorist status of political refugee. Soon after, the wife of Medina, Maria Angela Slongo, was occupying a position of trust in the Ministry of Fisheries at the request of Dilma Rousseff, then Chief of Staff. In May 2006, Evo Morales nationalized two Petrobras refineries in Bolivia, having occupied and taken by the Bolivian army. The Brazilian government responded with a cuddle and, two years later, Lula announced a loan of US $ 332 million to Morales, for the construction of a highway. In 2011, Dilma Rousseff announced changes in the Treaty of Itaipu, following a request from Fernando Lugo, President of Paraguay and member of the Forum of Sao Paulo. Senator Gleisi Hoffmann, the PT, was the rapporteur of the matter in the Senate and advocated the adoption of amendments, which did triple the annual fee paid by Brazil to Paraguay for the energy not used the Itaipu Dam, jumping from $ 120 million to US $ 360 million. When the philosopher Olavo de Carvalho began to denounce the Sao Paulo Forum, politicians, businessmen and journalists preferred to ignore it, believing that the animal was tame. But the beast was angry and now grown formidably; we no longer know if it's still possible to defeat him.
