Oct 17th, 2015 - 08:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Globo is not a source of reliable information it is openly against the Labour government and in favor of the oligarchs of the PSDB / DEM.
Even after the scandalous corruption of Eduardo Cunha, he follows as president of the lower house because it is supported by the PSDB and DEM, right-wing party that has no commitment to Brazil and are equally or more corrupt than the Eduardo Cunha.
No members of these two parties signed the petition to revoke the mandate of Eduardo Cunha at Ethics Committee.
The Brazilian people are not stupid!
Brasshole if they are corrupt they should be thrown in jail, pity that means half your thieving party PT

@1. Tobi's Brassiere,
Oct 17th, 2015 - 03:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The MercoPress forgot to report that Lula was voluntarily provide information...”
Tobi/Brassiere,
Are you so determined to slag MP, that you do not even READ the articles before you comment??
MP said very clearly that he testified voluntarily.
“Brazilian ex-President Lula da Silva, who allegedly used his influence to aid a leading domestic engineering group after leaving office, voluntarily testified on Thursday before federal prosecutors during an hour and a half, his foundation said.”
And no, Lula has not been formally charged yet, but disturbingly, not only is he IS under investigation for corruption and influence peddling, but there is evidence that mica yes him...
“The investigation has turned up evidence that Lula swayed BNDES to finance projects that Odebrecht - one of the companies implicated in a separate scandal involving the alleged payment of bribes to secure inflated contracts with state-controlled energy giant Petrobras - had been awarded in Africa and other Latin American countries”
These are serious enquiries. The evidence must be very compelling for the Prosecutors to formally and public ally call such an influential man as Lula as Respondant to a criminal investigation.
Shame shame...
I bet the finger pointing between co-accused, starts very soon.
Ever since Lula threw Dilm under the bus, he is bound to have even more enemies.
The Chief Crook Lula should remember the saying about a woman scorned: I am sure there will be an equivalent saying in Brazil.
Oct 18th, 2015 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0The best case scenario for Lula is that he has a heart attack and dies instantly.
Oct 18th, 2015 - 06:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The best justice will be for him to suffer endless trials and public humiliation, followed by life prison.
”“Lula da Silva stressed that he 'never interfered' in any contract concluded between BNDES and private companies,” said the statement - released by Instituto Lula ;
Oct 19th, 2015 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh, of course, if the 9-fingered asshole's Institute said he was innocent, he MUST be...bull shit for the 'petistas' to gobble up.
@1 brASSHOLE (the one with shit for brains)
“The Brazilian people are not stupid!”
Unfortunately, not entirely true. But hopefully that is being corrected. Over the last year, a lot of people, who had voted for fatty D, have come to realize their mistake. Only the really ignorant, or those paid to post shit - like you - still cling to the sinking ship. The PT is doomed, and so is your Bolivarian dream.

“Please, do not be silly”......Crikey, what sound advice : but let me translate for you : - believe all the lies that Dilma and Lula tell the people. Do not think for yourself. Be an asshole - like those in the Brasileiro group..
@6 Chicureo
Every time the normal TV, or Radio programmes are interrupted for a special bulletin, I pray that is to communicate that Lula has died, or that his cancer has come back with a vengeance and that the doctors predict he only has a couple of weeks to live....that'll be the day !!
