YANOMAMI CASE
During the interview, Lula said that the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) should be punished for genocide “not only in the case of the Yanomami, [mas também] in the case of covid-19″.
According to the current president, there are enough elements for his predecessor to be judged by the Justice for the health crisis in the Yanomami indigenous land and for the situation of the new coronavirus pandemic in Brazil.
Regarding the Yanomami crisis, he said that Bolsonaro encouraged in several speeches the invasion of the indigenous reserve and that there would be no punishment for the invaders. As for the pandemic, he said that the former president “he stood against everyone who called for the vaccine to be bought quickly” and “preferred to buy chloroquine” and say that the “people would die”.
REGULATION OF SOCIAL NETWORKS
Lula also defended that the regulation of social networks be carried out through a global debate and indicated that the forum for discussion on the subject should be the G20. He intends to talk about the issue with US President Joe Biden on February 10, when he visits Washington.
“Especially because I think the only way to have regulation is through dialogue. It is not possible to regulate only in one country. Therefore, it needs to be a subject to be discussed at the G20”said.
In the interview this Thursday, Lula stated that the regulation of the networks needs to be carried out through a debate between society, specialists and the media.
“If it is a lie, it cannot be published. I don’t think anyone tells you how to do it. But if we open the debate to society, if we open it up to people who are specialists in the internet, if we force the media to have a discussion”he declared.
