Lula stages a come back
On Friday 8 November Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian ex-president, was freed from jail after a Supreme Court ruling that boosted his followers and infuriated supporters of far- right president Jair Bolsonaro.
Lula was serving a 12-year sentence for corruption in the federal police headquarters in the city of Curitiba,where he had been imprisoned for 580 days.
When he walked out Lula was greeted by a crowd of fans dressed in red jacket and mask at his effigy.
He gave a speech to thanks the activist party that camped out during his imprisonment and attacked the rotten side of the police, prosecutors, tax office justice system for imprisonment him.
“They did not imprison a man. They tried to kill an idea” he said “Brazil did not progress, Brazil got worse . The people are starving. The people are without a job. They do not have formal employment, people are working for Uber, they ‘re riding bikes to provide pizza”.
On Friday November 8 his official Twitter account posted a video of him working out to the soundtrack from Rocky. That video proved that Lula is back with a vengeance and out to get Bolsonaro.
