3. June is the month of traditional Junina parties and resistance. The #LulaLivre Democratic Vigil is also entering the Junina spirit of St. John, renewing the spirits of the activists who haven’t left the area in front of the Federal Police headquarters for two months. On this Sunday they held an Arraiá Lula Livre party with traditional folk music and Junina foods. The fight for freedom for Lula and the hope for a better and happier Brazil brighten the days of the people from all over the country who come to the Vigil to support the ex-President, the most popular in Brazilian history and leader in all electoral polls for the Presidency of the Republic.
