Former Brazilian President Lula Da Silva Receives International Suppo

Considered as a political and unlawful sentence, the condemnation of the Federal Court of the Fourth Region of Brazil was criticized by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, in which he expressed his absolute solidarity and support to the historic leader of the Partido de the Workers (PT).

‘The decision seeks to disqualify and impede his imminent election as President of the Federative Republic of Brazil and is unacceptable and contrary to democratic principles,’ said Maduro.

He stated that the Brazilian right, in agreement with powerful media, manipulates ‘the judicial institutions with the manifest intention of truncating the return of the popular revolution of Brazil to the presidency of the country by the hand of Lula Da Silva’.

Venezuela joins the popular, national and international clamor, which shouts with one voice: Elections without Lula are a fraud!, he stated.
