Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) stated that President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is trying to manipulate evangelicals and called the current president a “pharisee”, “a phony and genocidal president”.
“He is a Pharisee and he is trying to manipulate the good faith of evangelical men and women who go to church to talk about their faith, their spirituality. They keep trying to tell lies all the time. Lies about Lula, about Lula’s wife, about you, about Indians and quilombolas,” he said.
“There will be no lies or fake news that will keep you ruling this country, Bolsonaro,” Lula continued.
The PT also criticized Bolsonaro’s handling of the Covid pandemic, saying that he did not “shed a tear for the victims”. “You were a denialist, you didn’t believe in science, you didn’t believe in medicine. You believed your lie. If there’s anyone possessed by the devil, it’s this Bolsonaro.”
