BRASILIA, April 7th. – Parliamentarians who support far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro are repeating their threats against the life and physical integrity of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Brasil 247 portal denounced today.
According to the website, after intimidating MPs Junio Amaral and Coronel Telhada, it was now Otoni de Paula who encouraged bravery against the Labor Party (PT) founder.
“Don’t come to try and visit my house because the bullet will be there,” snapped De Paula from the Commons gallery.
Brasil 247 makes sure this wasn’t the first threat against the former president in the 2022 election year.
Amaral released a video in which he wielded a firearm while provoking against the former labor leader, while Telhada tried to intimidate the PT member who is leading all polls for October’s election, Telesur said.
“What brings us here today is a challenge, a threat from an individual, an element called Lula,” said the parliamentarian before the plenary session of the Sao Paulo (Alesp) Legislative Assembly.
On March 24, an audiovisual image was also circulated on social networks in which a man from the town of Gravatal, in the south of the Santa Catarina territorial division, was practicing target shooting and insulting members of the PT.
Earlier, council member Leonel Radde, from Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul, received death threats from neo-Nazis, as did Lula, federal deputy Maria do Rosário, and black movement activist Antonio Isupério.
Congresswoman Carla Zambelli also recorded a video threatening the former union leader: “I’ll tell you something, there’s a gun in my house.”
Online sites say the intimidation arose after the “boasting politicians” fell for a hoax against Lula that was circulating on social media.
Edited video misleadingly implies that the former president is encouraging PT militancy to go to the Chamber of Deputies.
The day before, the PT in Alesp filed a complaint against Telhada with the Council’s Ethics Committee for breach of decency, which was taken up with a gun and threats against the former metallurgical turner.
“Go home, molest my wife, my children and my grandchildren. I’ll wait for you there You and your whole gang,” said the lawmaker, turning to Lula, gun in hand.
The PT announced last July that it was analyzing systems to bolster the security of its undeniable presidential candidate during the campaign.
A report published by the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper on the occasion warned that “it’s no secret that an important part of the Bolsonarista base is enthusiastic about weapons” and that, like the former army captain, this group “defends the mission”. . of violence”.
