Bulletin 81 – People’s Committee in Defense of Lula and Democracy
Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil – 5/17/2018 – 10:30 AM
- Today, ex-President Lula published an exclusive article in the French newspaper Le Monde, in which he affirms his candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic and the opportunity for Brazil to re-encounter its road towards social inclusion, of dialogue and of national sovereignty. In the article he also discusses the judicial farce mounted against him by Judge Sergio Moro. “I lead all of the polls even after being imprisoned in consequence of a judicial persecution which scoured through my house, those of my children, my personal accounts and the Lula Institute and did not find any proof of a crime committed by me,” he says. “A notoriously partial judge condemned me to 12 years in prison for ‘undetermined acts’.” Read the full article here: http://lula.com.br/lula-escreve-no-le-monde-porque-eu-quero-voltar-ser-presidente
