Lula was jailed for more than a year and a half to avoid his participation in the elections of 2018 and his almost certain election as president of Brazil. Accused of having accepted bribes, an apartment whose property was never proven, through a rigged trial, as evidenced in the leaks of talks where a high magistrate, current Minister of Justice of Brazil, instructed judges and prosecutors to force the deprivation of liberty of Lula, months before the electoral process began, given that it punctuated the polls.
This maneuver in the first time achieved the objective, Lula was not a candidate and the unpresentable candidate of fascism won those elections, for the worse of the large Brazilian majorities, today more excluded than ever, and of humanity, the latter given the level of predation of the Amazon that has authorized and promotes that government.
By the way, neither the OAS, nor the European Union, nor the government of the United States and its allies considered that this election was not fair, nor declared it non-existent because the favorite candidate, Lula, was prevented from participating. I say this because the main excuse for which these international actors, including the Brazilian government itself, ignore the government of President Nicolas Maduro is based on the fact that the electoral process in Venezuela of the year 2018 was not fair, because a political leader of the right, who publicly and notoriously planned, organized, convened and executed a process of violent and armed struggle in order to overthrow democratic institutions in 2014, could not participate because he was sentenced and deprived of liberty, 4 years before the presidential elections held last year in our country. It is a brazen double standard that of world powers.
Finally, in a context of general rebellion in our America against all those fascist elites, we celebrate this first step towards justice in the case of the tireless and historical fighter for the causes of the workers, the peasants, the Indians of Brazil and an enthusiastic promoter, along with Commander Chávez, of the union of the peoples of our America and Africa.
Lula, the best president that Brazil has had, Lula who reduced hunger and social and racial exclusion in that sister town. Lula is on the street and not for anyone, our villages are on the street and not for anyone. Overcome!
