Instead of apologizing, Ciro blames Lula for prejudiced remarks about favelas.

247 - During a political meeting in São Paulo this Thursday (1), the PDT presidential candidate, Ciro Gomes, tried again to justify himself for a prejudiced speech regarding Brazilian favelas And instead of apologizing, he chose to blame former president Lula (PT) for the negative repercussions of his statement. This information comes from the newspaper... The Globe.

Ciro had stated this Wednesday (31), in a meeting with businessmen at the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, that the event was a "rally for prepared people". Regarding the topic discussed, the former governor of Ceará joked: "Imagine explaining this in the favela."

Attempting to justify himself, Ciro declared today in São Paulo: "When you discuss the effect of the exchange rate on the dismantling of national industry, when you discuss monetary policy as a distortion of the country's exchange rate, you are speaking a certain language that only people who have had the opportunity to become familiar with that subject understand."

So, he placed the blame on Lula for The negative reaction from the public on social media to his speech."I'm trying to get a lot of people doing what I'm doing. Going up the hill, where I was the day before yesterday, explaining to people, pedagogically and humbly, what it's all about. But I can't do it alone. That's all I said. The rest? Hypocrisy of the shallowest and purest kind, especially motivated by a candidate who is corrupt and who advocates ignorance as a tool for his eternal hold on power, which is Lula."

The PDT presidential candidate continued attacking the former president, stating that the PT governments were rife with "corruption and thievery" and that Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is currently doing "exactly the same thing."
