MADRID, 22 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Superior Electoral Court of Brazil has suspended this Friday the decisions that granted President Jair Bolsonaro the right to reply in the television interventions of former President Lula da Silva in the time dedicated to the electoral campaign until all the judges of the court review all the cases. .
This Thursday, the court had already suspended 164 interventions by Lula during Bolsonaro’s time, a decision that will be evaluated by the court this Saturday, according to ‘Folha de S.Paulo’. In addition to another 42 participations in radio programs, which are also awaiting the court’s assessment.
The campaign teams of the candidates have filed appeals against these decisions. Bolsonaro’s defense has argued that the propaganda of the party headed by Lula was based on “strongly decontextualized” content that was a moral offense for the president.
Specifically, they reproach Lula for accusing the head of state of being “a bad, prejudiced and angry person” and assuring that he was “helping to arm the militias and drug traffickers.”
Instead, Lula’s campaign has questioned the propaganda of Bolsonaro’s candidacy that claimed that the former president had more votes “in the jails and prisons of Brazil” and that organized crime had already chosen its candidate.
