Marcos Rogério: Lula asked Trump not to meddle in our affairs.
Marcos Rogério: But that is precisely where the problem lies: the incoherence of the current government's discourse.
Has President Lula forgotten what PT itself did when he was imprisoned, when he was convicted?
Marcos Rogério: At that time, PT ran around the world asking for international help; they appealed to the UN Human Rights Committee; Celso Amorim created an international committee solely to publicize, Senator Zequinha, information abroad about Lula's imprisonment; they requested an observation mission from the European Parliament; they made a video for Al Jazeera asking for the support of the Arab world; they even sought the Nobel Peace Prize.
Marcos Rogério: This is normal, all of this is normal, all of this is permissible, because, in their view, there was an injustice in Brazil, and the world needed to know what was happening at that moment.
