247 - The journalist Joaquim de Carvalho, participating in TV 247, attempted to translate what President Lula (PT) said in an interview with RedeTV when stating that the billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann, one of those responsible for the billion-dollar financial hole discovered at Americanas, will end up like Eike Batista..

"We know that Lemann, like all big businessmen, participated in some way in the 2016 coup, which led to his [Lula's] own imprisonment. But Lula isn't seeking personal revenge. Lula is saying the following: they keep trying to accuse us, the State, of bankrupting the country, and this guy, who was the star of capitalism, look what he did, and he's going to end up like Eike Batista. Lula is showing that what these big businessmen do, they do in their own self-interest, and they take any kind of action to get even richer. It's a very great greed, which is no longer for survival," he said.

According to Carvalho, "Lula is showing that these guys are actually a fraud."
