- Lula received his first spiritual visit of the year on this Monday, January 7th, in the Federal Police headquarters in Curitiba where he is being held as a political prisoner, from Father Luiz Favaron, of the Franciscan Order of the Catholic Church. “We talked about everything,” Father Luiz said, “Lula told me how much he misses his family, and how he feels about Brazil. He told me that as long as his supporters don’t give up, he won’t give up, referring to the activists in the Lula Livre Vigil”. Watch video about the visit here: http://bit.ly/2se7ELC
- The Priest also said that he gave Lula the book “Jesus: a Historical Approach”. “Jesus continues to be the example for his struggle,” he said, adding that the former President was very fond of the present. Favaron also talked about his relationship with Lula, which started during the days when he was president of the ABC Metalworkers’ Union. “I have known Lula for a long time and I am fully convinced that he is a political prisoner and has been arrested because of a political project that wants precisely to silence this prophetic voice of our country,” he said.
- In a video which was released this Monday, December 7th, on her YouTube channel, PT President, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann dots the “I’s” and crosses the “T’s” and demands them to show the evidence against ex-President Lula, who has been held as a political prisoner since April 7th. The lawmaker also speaks of the contradictions in the Lava Jato investigation. “It is an investigation which was supposed to fight corruption, that transformed into a political persecution against Lula, the PT, progressive leaders and the Brazilian left,” she says.
