“He is going to go back to jail, yes, he is going to go back. Because a thief’s place is in jail,” Bolsonaro said. in a nine-minute speech before hundreds of people who gathered in the capital of Pernambuco, Lula’s birth state.
Lula was convicted of corruption by former judge Sergio Moro and was detained for 580 days, which is why he was banned from the 2018 elections, which Bolsonaro won, but the Federal Supreme Court decided to annul the proceedings because there was political manipulation of the case by the magistrate and the prosecution.
Bolsonaro spoke of Lula’s return to jail while the public shouted “Lula thief, your place is prison”
“If it depended only on the vote in the prisons, he would have won in the first round,” assured the president. In Brazil, in the prisons, only the detainees prosecuted without a final sentence vote.
Lula had the “chance to show Brazil and the world what the path against corruption would be. He chose the wrong path, he is not going to win on the 30th,” he said.
The president asked Pernambucans to turn out to vote and work to avoid abstentionism, to recover ground for the second round, after being defeated by six million votes, 48 to 43 percent, on October 2.
The Supreme Federal Court determined the suspension of a Bolsonaro propaganda that called Lula a “convict” and a “thief”, since it is a lying qualification because all the processes against him were closed with acquittal or annulments.
In addition, Bolsonaro described the Workers’ Party (PT) of Lula as “the party of darkness”.
“Compare a president who defends the free market and freedom with another who defends an oppressive state, a corrupt state,” he said.
Bolsonaro also announced the reduction of employer contributions for the health area, destined for private medicine companies.
