The president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and the PT candidate for the Planalto Palace, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvatried to get rid of the former deputy Roberto Jefferson (PTB) during the presidential debate held by TV Globo this Friday (28.Oct.2022). The PTB activist shot and threw stun grenades at federal police officers on October 24.
“How is he my friend if last month he filed a criminal report against me in the Superior Military Court? I have no friends with him”, declared the president.
The PT, who was an ally of Jefferson in the 2000s, also tried to link the former deputy to Bolsonaro. “Do you know what your model of a peaceful citizen is? Your model of peace? It’s Jefferson, armed to the teeth, shooting at the Federal Police. That which is your model of peace, your model of tranquility, your model of harmony”, said the former president.
Lula said that Bolsonaro was instructed to distance himself from the former deputy because of the episode of violence against the police. “You had a tic, someone told you: ‘stay away from Roberto Jefferson’, because you even ordered your minister to go there. You ordered the Federal Police to negotiate. Because if you were a black man, from a favela, you would have had him killed”, said the PT.
The former president also recalled Bolsonaro’s speech denying having photos with Jefferson. “You even said ‘I don’t have a photo with him’, then the press opened up your photo with Roberto Jefferson. You can’t have two personalities, have one.” said.
Bolsonaro replied: “I used to belong to Roberto Jefferson’s party and, when the press asked me if he was part of the coordination of my campaign, I said no. So much so that I don’t have a photo with him on the occasion of the elections. He had his own candidate for president of the Republic”.
ABORTION
Lula recalled Bolsonaro’s speech in 1992, when he was a deputy, defending “abortion pill”. Bolsonaro then said: “30 years ago I can change, why. Now you just a few days ago spoke clearly that abortion was a public health issue.”
Bolsonaro suggested that he would remember Lula’s courtship with Mirian Cardoso, with whom he had a daughter, Lurian Cordeiro Lula da Silva. “I will not bring the case of his 1st wife here. I want to respect these people. Respect the daughter who was born at that moment”, said the president, who called Lula an “abortionist”.
Lula is in his 3rd marriage, with sociologist Rosângela da Silva, known as Janja. He was married to Maria de Lourdes da Silva from 1969 to 1971. She died of hepatitis when she was pregnant with a boy, who also died. Depressed by the tragedy, he joined the union movement. During this period, the PT dated the nursing assistant Mirian Cardoso.
Here is the dialogue of the 2 candidates on the subject in the debate of the Globe:
CONSTRUCTION
Bolsonaro said that Lula did not bring water to the Northeast while he governed, but stole money during the PT administration. “Lula, you said you were going to take water to the Northeast. He said that in 2010, 88% of the work was completed […] did not take water to the Northeast, but took money to your pocket”, declared the president.
The chief executive also said that PT loved to start works, but did not finish. He also refuted the former president’s speech about his acquittal. “You say you were acquitted. Only gone for Bonner. I think Bonner will be nominated for an impossible and hypothetical government of yours for the Federal Supreme Court”, Bolsonaro said.
TSE
Bolsonaro said in the debate that the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) could not dictate what he could or could not say. “You had to be in jail, Lula. There, the 2nd instance was reinterpreted, then they disproved you. There is no TSE here to protect you or to tell me what I can or cannot say”, declared the Chief Executive.
The president also said that Lula should not run in the 2022 election. “You yourself, Lula, were unanimously convicted in 3 instances. And he’s only here because he has 1 friend in the Federal Supreme Court. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here. You had to be in jail, Lula. There, the 2nd instance was reinterpreted, then they disproved you”, Bolsonaro said.
“You’re just married, you had to be at home, minding your own business. Give thanks to God that this is happening to you and not contesting an election.” declared.
