Bulletin 253 – People’s Committee in Defense of Lula and Democracy
Curitiba – 10/30/2018 – 7.15 PM
- The national president of the Workers’ Party, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann (Paraná), announced today that the fight for the freedom of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will carry on as one of the party’s main goals. Following President-elect Jair Bolsonaro’s barbaric and grotesque imprecations against Lula, she said she feared for the life of the former president, who was convicted without crime or evidence by Judge Sérgio Moro. Gleisi pointed out the fact that Lula is entitled to a fair trial and said that the party will make an application for greater protection for his life and person.
