The demonstrations on this Friday, with limited follow-up, constitute an agenda of mobilizations and events that will last until August 15, when the candidate of the former president will be registered in Brasilia, despite being virtually handicapped.
"The fear that the powerful feel is not for me, Lula, but to listen to the opinion of the Brazilians in free elections, it is the Brazilian people who needs to recover his democratic freedom! "said Monday the ex-governor. message sent from the cell of the police headquarters in the city of Curitiba where he has been detained since 7 April.
The PT chairman, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann, said today in an act in the state of Paraíba (northeast), that "despite being imprisoned for nearly 100 days, Lula continues to conduct all voting intention polls ", which means that" the population wants to vote for you ".
The formation decided to reinforce its presence in the streets after the "legal circus" lived last Sunday among the judges for the possible release of Lula, who is serving a sentence of twelve years and one month of imprisonment for passive corruption and money laundering of money
One of the protests, of a few dozen people, took place in Porto Alegre, near the Federal Regional Court of the Fourth Region (TRF4, second instance), protagonist of judicial confusion around Lula's situation this lasted about 10 hours.
TRF4 custody judge, Rogério Favreto, granted a "habeas corpus" to the former trade unionist and determined his "immediate" release
.
This decision was questioned by Judge Sergio Moro, who sentenced Lula in first instance, and dismissed by the case's investigator in the court of second instance, Joao Gebran Neto.
However, Favreto insisted again with the release, which then denied TRF4 president, Carlos Thompson Flores.

Favreto's attempt to free Lula was criticized by the president of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ, third instance) of Brazil, Laurita Vaz, who rejected Wednesday in block 143 claims demanding the release of # 39; former sovereign.
Still, the PT resumed hope after the acquittal of its supreme leader on the eve of one of the seven criminal cases he faces in court, most of them being suspected of corruption.
"Lula is now the only candidate and the only person able to get the country out of the crisis and lead Brazil towards national pacification," Hoffmann said.
