MP 665: PT members are "wanted" in posters.
Posters that were with union members from the Força Sindical union yesterday at the Chamber of Deputies appeared today pasted on lampposts in the capital of São Paulo; the images show photos of Lula, Dilma, and PT (Workers' Party) deputies, such as the party's leader in the Chamber, Sibá Machado (AC), along with phrases like "stole my unemployment insurance," "stole the fishermen's fishing ban insurance"; the state directorate of the party promised to sue those responsible.
247 - Posters against members of the Workers' Party (PT) that were circulating yesterday in the hands of union members from Força Sindical during the vote on Provisional Measure 665 in the Chamber of Deputies, appeared today pasted on posters in the capital of São Paulo.
The posters feature photos of President Dilma Rousseff, former President Lula, and PT (Workers' Party) deputies who voted in favor of the provisional measure that makes access to unemployment insurance, the wage bonus, and the fishing ban allowance more restrictive for fishermen.
The photos of PT (Workers' Party) members are placed on posters above phrases such as "stole my unemployment insurance," "stole the fishermen's unemployment benefits," "stole my salary bonus (PIS/PASEP)," and "stole half of the widows' pensions."
The issue of widows' pensions, in this case, wasn't even on the agenda in the Chamber yesterday, but it was mentioned by opposition members who were speaking against the measure. The state directorate of the PT (Workers' Party) said it intends to sue those responsible for distributing the posters.
The Força Sindical union members also threw fake $100 bills with photos of Dilma and Lula from the ceiling during the voting.
The Workers' Party (PT), in a statement, announced legal action to investigate who is responsible. Read below:

Images of President Dilma Rousseff, former President Lula, and Workers' Party (PT) deputies stamped with "Wanted". The PT will also request that a police investigation be launched to determine who is responsible for sponsoring and distributing these posters, which clearly have the intention of causing damage and embarrassment to the image of the PT and its representatives. The posters in question were found this Thursday (07), affixed to posts and walls in the central region of São Paulo and some cities in the interior of the State. The PT-SP (Workers' Party of São Paulo) repudiates such cowardly and fascist tactics. |
