This afternoon there was another Lulaço demonstration in the São Bernardo Plaza shopping mall in the ABC region of greater São Paulo. Earlier, the trumpet player Fabiano Leitão played “Olé, Olé Olé Olá, Lula la” in front of the metallurgical workers union and the building where the President used to live.

  1. The big press agencies in Germany covered the story of the disqualification of Lula’s candidacy.

  1. In a letter, the Government of Cuba expressed solidarity and positioned itself in favor of ex-President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after the results of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) ruling against Lula’s candidacy. “The Cuban Republic’s Foreign Relations Minister denounces the disqualification of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva which bars him as the Workers Party candidate for the Brazilian presidency, with which the Brazilian people are impeded from voting for the most popular candidate for this high position,” said the note from the Cuban Ministry released on this Saturday, September 1.

 

  1. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro also gave his support to ex-President Lula on Twitter. “I raise my voice together with the Brazilian people against the outrage committed on brother Lula. The Continent’s oligarchies are trying to silence the voices of a nation and of all people who have decided to be free. Power to Brazil! We are thousands of Lulas!”, said Maduro.

  1. Neither the rain nor the cold on this Sunday in Curitiba impeded the activists at the #LulaLivre Vigil from giving their traditional greetings to ex-President Lula. During the “good night” shout, the activists repudiated the TSE’s decision to not respect the UN decision in favor of the candidacy of Lula and reaffirmed that they will continue with the ex-President to the end.
