Noblat: Federal Police's allegations against Lula's attendance at the funeral are a mockery.
According to journalist Ricardo Noblat, "one of the reasons given by the Federal Police for denying Lula the right to attend his brother's funeral is a mockery: their helicopters are in Brumadinho." "The PT offered to charter a plane to transport Lula and the federal agents. The offer wasn't even considered."
247 - Journalist Ricardo Noblat criticized the Judiciary's decision that prevented former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from attending the funeral of his brother Genival Inácio da Silva, Vavá, who was buried this Wednesday (30) in São Paulo, after battling lung cancer.
"It's a mockery that one of the reasons given by the Federal Police for denying Lula the right to attend his brother's funeral is that his helicopters are in Brumadinho." "The PT offered to charter a plane to transport Lula and the federal agents. The offer wasn't even considered," said the columnist for the newspaper O Globo on Twitter.
The former president also repudiated the decision. "They didn't let me say goodbye to Vavá out of pure malice," he stated. The statement was conveyed by the national president of the PT, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann (PR), during Vavá's funeral ceremony.
