Lula defends the revocation of mandates of parliamentarians who occupied Congress tables

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) said on Friday (8) that deputies and senators who occupied the boards of the House and Senate should lose their mandate. The statement was made during a federal investment announcement event in Acre, with direct criticism of the opposition.

“Who should have impeachment are these deputies and senators who are trying to strike so as not to allow the House and Senate, true traitors of the country,” Lula told Senator Sérgio Petecão (PSD-AC) and asking him not to support the impeachment request against Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court (STF).

Speech occurs after opposition parliamentarians occupy the directors of the two houses in protest against the house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), determined by Moraes this week. The group pressures Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), to guide the minister’s impeachment.

Alcohubre, in an interview with G1he stated that the decision is exclusively the presidency of the Senate and is not “a merely numerical matter, but of legal-political assessment that involves just cause.”

Criticism of Bolsonarism in Congress

Lula also criticized the behavior of part of parliamentarians, attributing to Bolsonaro the rise of a more aggressive and media policy.

“The Bolsonaro opened the magic lamp, and did not leave the Aladdin: what was rotten in this country for politics. Today, deputy no longer makes speech: take his cell phone, record his face, speak a nonsense and thinks he is doing politics,” he said.

At the same event, the president reaffirmed that if he has health conditions, he will be a candidate for reelection in 2026. Lula promised to prevent the return of the right -handed right to Planalto.

“Those craps that ruled this country will never come back. Brazil needs to end the hatred in society. I have already played with Maluf, Fernando Henrique, Covas, Serra, Alckmin and did not have that anger. This country is good, has a generous and hardworking people,” he said.
