Straight from Curitiba – 3/26/2019 – 354 days of resistance – 8:50 PM
- The Lula Livre Caravan will pass through Porto Alegre, Florianopolis and Curitiba, from April 5- 7, strengthening the movement for freedom for ex-President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has been a political prisoner for nearly one year. Fernando Haddad, the former PT candidate for president in the 2018 elections, will participate in the caravan. The mobilization will also have the goal of confronting the setbacks of the Bolsonaro government and strengthening the fight against pension reforms. This is the first Caravan in which Lula will not participate, but it will carry his rallying cries for a sovereign, democratic and, above all, fair Brazil.

- On this Tuesday, March 26th, former candidates for the Brazilian presidency Fernando Haddad (PT) and Guilherme Boulos (PSOL), Maranhão governor Flávio Dino (PC do B), and former Paraiba governor Ricardo Coutinho (PSB) met in Brasilia.

After the meeting, they issued a statement in which they evaluate the Bolsonaro government’s mismanagement and speak of the issues that will need big people’s mobilizations to overturn, such as pension reform. Boulos’ Vice Presidential candidate, Sonia Guajajara (PSOL) also participated in the meeting. Read the statement here: https://pt.org.br/haddad-boulos-e-dino-lancam-nota-a-imprensa-sobre-bolsonaro/
