Straight from Curitiba – 5/14/2019 – 403 days of resistance – 7:15 PM
- In an interview with journalists on Monday, May 13, before giving a speech in an event promoted by the Paraná Magistratura Federal School (Esmafe-PR) and the Association of Federal Judges (Ajufe), Judge Gabriela Hardt confessed that her ruling against former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, on the case of the Atibaia vacation property, was copied from another ruling, that of ex-Judge and current politician Sérgio Moro, who convicted Lula without any material proof in the case of the Triplex apartment. Specialists argue that this should render Hardt’s conviction null and void. Read more here: https://pt.org.br/juiza-confessa-nulidade-de-sentenca-contra-lula-ao-admitir-copia-de-moro/
- The activists in the Lula Livre Vigil met on the afternoon of this Tuesday, May 14th, to watch, or re-watch the interview that the former President made for the British TV Network, BBC.
