HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 9 (ACN) Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, Cuban president, said today on Twitter that his country is celebrating the acquittal of former Brazilian presidents Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousef, who were facing charges of alleged corruption.
The Cuban president stressed that the decision comes to confirm how many excesses and abuses are committed against the Latin American left, and called to remain attentive.
On Monday, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) annulled the conviction of the former president, arguing that the justice of the state of Parana is incompetent to judge the case; with the decision, the political rights of the leader of the Workers' Party (PT) are also restored, so Lula will be able to run again as a candidate.
Previously, in December 2019, Brazilian federal judge Marcus Vinicus Reis Bastos ruled the summary acquittal of Lula, who was accused in the so-called "PT Quadrillion" case, for an alleged criminal organization; at that time, former president Dilma Rousseff, and former ministers Antonio Palocci and Guido Mantega were also acquitted.
