"Bank Candidate"

São Paulo – The Senate Constitution and Justice Committee has organized an inspection at the headquarters of the Federal Police Curitiba, where former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been incarcerated since April.

Senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), who is a member of the commission, said categorically, "More than ever, a political prisoner," he said.

Calheiros, who voted for the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff in 2016, said "there is no evidence or materiality" to keep Lula in jail. Judge Sérgio Moro's decision of first instance stammered by conviction The region (TRF4) was precipitated in January, deliberately placed on the electoral scene, which turns its prison into politics and continues to grow in the polls ", he said, adding that he supported Lula's candidacy for the condemnation of his innocence.

The process that keeps Lula incarcerated was filed by senator, father of Alagoas governor, Renan Filho, candidate for reelection. "This visit means the solidarity of each of us to President Lula, for what he has represented and represented for the country, and to ensure that this process follows the rite of legality, I'm sure he's not following, "he said." We find Lula convinced that he will demonstrate his innocence. "I think exactly the same thing, as you know, he has been convicted without evidence. "

With Jorge Viana and Renan, the chairman of the commission, Edson Lobão (MDB-MA), participated in the visit," He calls for justice, does not ask for any type of concession, does not demands a fair trial, in relation to its history and with the Brazilian people on which it counts, "said Roberto Requião (MDB-PR). We have seen a person who is outraged by those who suffer unfairness, but also with the patience to wait. "Requião said that Lula is" with an unwavering will, believing in his innocence. "

It does not come from the PMDB. He is a candidate of the financial system. "

For Calheiros, the party's strategy should be directed to regional forces, such as his heir Renan Filho, governor of Alagoas." The party has good rulers, like that of Alagoas, which which is excellent. You can not condemn a much-loved young governor to get on a platform with Meirelles with his program against the poor and the workers in a country whose economy is crumbling more and more. "

The emedebists have expressed their concern about the reconstruction of the party" in the post Michel Temer, who makes a dark government with horrible results. "And Meirelles would be the continuity of Temer's model." I say we We have no candidate. The candidacy for the presidency is useless to be a deception, a fantasy. You have a candidate or not. In the case, we do not do it. I have been in the band for a long time and I have never met Meirelles in the corridors, I do not know where he was in the most dramatic moments of our democracy. "
