Lula blames Jair Bolsonaro for half of the deaths in Brazil from Covid-19

Reaffirming the discourse of dialogue with all sectors, he indicated that the political game is built through conversation with all political forces, “convincing people, accepting suggestions, accepting proposals for change. This is how the political game unfolds on planet Earth where there is democracy”, he assured, quoted by the local portal Terra.

Along the same lines, he declared that he does not see any problem in building an alliance with his former opponent and who sounds like a formula candidate, the former governor of São Paulo Geraldo Alckmin.

“The vice president is important and the vice president is a first-time partner,” Lula said, when asked specifically what Alckmin’s role would be in a possible new government of the Workers’ Party (PT).

“I tell everyone that the problem is not to win the elections, it is to win and manage to fix the country. Because Brazil is much more unstructured than in 2003; inflation is higher, the cost of living, unemployment and salary losses are much older,” added the former president.

“We have an atrophied economy. The state has no investment capacity. The state is allowing universities to fail. The state is reducing the Science and Technology budget to almost zero. The challenge now is to recover the economy,” he said.

Lula also insisted on the importance of a renewal of the national Congress.

“We need to elect a group of deputies who have a slightly optimistic vision of Brazil, a bit more social. We cannot have a Congress that makes the president hostage,” Lula declared.

He also referred to the criticized management of the coronavirus pandemic carried out by Bolsonaro.

“I am convinced that Bolsonaro is responsible for more than half of the people who died from Covid-19. And they continue to promote medicines that do not work, they continue to fight against the vaccine, and they say that the children who died are insignificant. Is this guy isn’t he human?” he questioned.

Since the start of the pandemic, Brazil, the second country hardest hit globally by the coronavirus pandemic, has exceeded 24.3 million infections and 624,100 deaths from the disease.

“I am not going to get into the quagmire in which some opponents want to transform the debate. What I want to know is who will solve the problem of employment, the economy, the credibility of the country in the world, the delay in schooling of children due to the pandemic. That is what I am going to discuss,” he summarized.

According to polls carried out last month by the consulting firm Datafolha, Lula is in a position to win the first round of the presidential elections, scheduled for October, with a 20-point advantage over Bolsonaro, who will seek re-election after joining the Liberal Party ( PL).
