The PT presidential candidate, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said this Thursday, 15, when criticizing Jair Bolsonaro (PL), that a president cannot be held hostage by the National Congress. According to him, Bolsonaro “cannot even take care of the Budget”.
In the wave of criticism, Lula cited the cut of funds for the Popular Pharmacy program made by the Bolsonaro government. “He has just taken money from the Popular Pharmacy to put it in the Secret Budget. To try to help the deputies, help finance his campaign. It’s not logical, it’s not rational”, he told journalists in Montes Claros (MG).
as showed the Estadão/Broadcastthe Bolsonaro government cut by 59% the 2023 budget of the free Farmácia Popular program, which serves more than 21 million Brazilians, to guarantee more resources for the secret budget – a scheme for transferring funds to parliamentarians without transparency.
Lula also stated that “a president cannot keep offending the Supreme Court”. He had been asked about the increase in cases of political violence during the presidential campaign.
