Marcelo Aloizio de Arruda, municipal guard and local treasurer of the PT, was celebrating his 50th birthday dressed in a T-shirt with the image of Lula de Silva in a club decorated with images of the former president when a federal prison police officer, Jorge Jose da Rocha Guaranho, interrupted the party with his wife and with a baby in his arms shouting “Bolsonaro president, sons of bitches!”, according to witnesses. “Here is Bolsonaro!”, He added, among other slogans.
Testimony
“We were at the party and around 11:30 (on Saturday night) a man showed up, who was not invited and nobody knew, and who started shouting ‘Mito’ and other Bolsonaro things from the car. He was with a woman and a baby. He pointed a gun and said that he was going to come back to kill us all,” said Aluízio Palmar, a witness.
The Bolsonarist policeman left and returned 20 minutes later armed and firing, after which Arruda, who is a municipal guard in Foz do, responded with his service weapon. Arruda was shot three times and the Bolsonaro police officer five, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
The state police limited themselves to triggering “an argument” between the two men, without clarifying whether there was a political motivation, according to the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. However, Lula da Silva himself lamented in a statement the death of the militant, who was a candidate for vice mayor in 2020. He also expressed solidarity with his relatives and with those of Guaranho, “who lost a father and a husband for a speech of hatred stimulated by an irresponsible president.” The PT, for its part, warned about the “growth of political violence in the country.” “Any person driven mad by this project of death and destruction becomes an aggressor or murderer,” he deplored.
Weapons
Along the same lines, the president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffmann, linked the murder to “hate speech and the dangerously armed population” by the government.
The episode is added to a wave of acts of violence that until now had less relevance, but that set off alarms due to the political climate ahead of the presidential election in October.
