PSOL files criminal complaint against Bolsonaro for endangering the lives of the population.
The minimization of Covid-19 and Bolsonaro's disregard for disease containment rules have endangered the lives of the population and warrant a criminal complaint, according to PSOL leaders.
247 - PSOL filed a criminal complaint against Jair Bolsonaro last Friday (10), arguing that he violated preventive health measures.
The complaint was filed with the STF (Supreme Federal Court) and is signed by Ivan Valente (SP), Luíza Erundina (SP), and Guilherme Boulos, according to... Dashboard from Folha de S.Paulo.
Bolsonaro downplayed Covid-19 and disregarded disease containment rules, such as social isolation and mask use, putting the population's lives at risk.
The document lists Bolsonaro's statements downplaying the risks of the pandemic, despite the rising number of victims.
In the criminal complaint, PSOL leaders argue that Bolsonaro's statements incite campaigns and demonstrations against public health guidelines.
In the criminal complaint, the party claims that Bolsonaro may have exposed hundreds of people to the virus, since he traveled, hugged, shook hands, and did not wear a mask in the days leading up to his diagnosis.
