Artists and movements ask Lula to protect flotilha towards Gaza

Order for Lula Act

Marina Conti, councilor of Campinas (PSOL), points out that “the statements of the Brazilian government and President Lula condemning genocide were important because Lula has an international weight.”

“But we need the government to go further: we need the government to defend the flotilla, this mission of international solidarity and the Brazilians who are here. That would be of great importance,” he said.

“We need concrete action, for example, a diplomatic action that can ensure our protection, just like Spain and Italy are sending frigates to escort this mission and assist,” he said.

“We need the Brazilian government to take concrete measures and also take steps to end genocide, because words are important, have a political weight, but we need concrete actions, such as breaking economic and energetic relations. Brazil needs to stop supplying Israel’s death machine with oil, with all these raw materials that are essential and that today feed the massacre of the people of the people. Palestine, “he defended.

João Aguiar, coordinator of the Brazilian entourage in the Flotilha and a member of the PT Palestinian Center, estimates that “Flotilla not only leads to the so necessary humanitarian aid”. “It carries something much heavier. Flotilla sails along with millions – perhaps billions – from people from all over the world. People who, through this action, send a message of solidarity, a warning that the world will not accept it silent, that the Palestinian people are not alone and will not be abandoned. We always sail together: we, in the sea, and you, on earth,” he says.
