"This has caused a real earthquake in the country, given the seriousness of the information," said the head of the Workers' Party (PT) bloc, Paulo Pimenta, after learning that leaks were how the former judge and the current Minister of Justice of Brazil, Sergio Moro, with the prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, led the Lava Jato case
harming the government of Dilma Rousseff, prevent Lula Da Silva's presidential candidacy and pave the way for the victory of the far right Jair Bolsonaro.

"The goal was to change popular governments in Latin America and change them by right-wing governments such as Bolsonaro in Brazil and Macri in Argentina," said Pimenta, adding that leaks by The Intercept
, show "US policy against popular governments of Latin America".

"I have no doubt that what happened to Lula is identical to Cristina," he said in a dialogue with El Destape radio.

Pimenta, who heads the Lula party bloc, insisted "that there is a very strong presence of US interests in this investigation". He was surprised by the magnitude of the leak: "We could not imagine the degree of promiscuity in these relations between the judge, the prosecutors and the mainstream media."

"What is clear is that what Moro did was political and electoral objectives, through illegal procedures," warned the MP, anticipating the legal and political consequences that could trigger the leak of messages between Moro and Dallagnol.

"This caused a real earthquake in the country, given the seriousness of the information." These revelations are illuminating and show a totally illegal relationship between the prosecutors of Moro and Lava Jato as well as the media, "said Pimenta.
