“Direct and close sources from Brazil inform me that President Lula da Silva manipulated an alleged accident to use it as an alibi in order not to attend the recent BRICS Summit,” said Saab about the Lula’s absence a the BRICS meeting after an alleged accident he had one week ago, in which he struck the back of his head after falling at the official residence of the Presidency.
The Venezuelan General Prosecutor added in a statement spread on Saturday that that version was nothing more than a deception to carry out the veto against Venezuela, “evading its responsibility to President Putin, the other attending leaders and in particular, President Nicolás Maduro Moros.”
Saab steted that which ran with much force as a rumor, seems to be corroborated by a video released yesterday by the Brazil’s Presidency, where the president Lula looks healthy, using his faculties and “acting with total cynicism.”
This Friday, Lula reappeared in an official act at the Palacio de Planalto, headquarters of the Presidency, to participate in the signing of a reparation agreement for the victims of the Mariana mining tragedy, which took place in 2015.
“While, there is great discomfort in the Latin American left and revolutionary movements of the world by the unworthy and nefarious performance of its government at that Summit vetoing and attacking cowardly Venezuela, obeying the instructions of our peoples’ historical enemies.”
