The Spanish far-right party VOX made a documentary against Lula da Silva, a progressive leader of Brazil and candidate for the next presidential elections, with money from the Ministry of Culture and Sport of Spain.
The documentary was funded through the Disenso Foundation, created by VOX in July 2020 and of which Santiago Abascal, a far-right leader, is a lifelong patron.
In the video, which is available on Internet platforms, some international far-right figures question Lula and the Sao Paulo Forum, a front for Latin American organizations from different currents of the left.
In the Forum it is possible to find social democratic organizations as well as communist and revolutionary ones.
According to the newspaper El País, Disenso has received a total of around 92,342 euros from Spanish public funds and has been one of the main beneficiaries of the Ministry of Culture and Sport.
The documentary features figures from different countries criticizing left-wing organizations that promote values of equality and, in particular, attacking Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva, who will run against Jair Bolsonaro for the presidency on October 2.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of the current president and deputy for Sao Paulo, plays a prominent role in the documentary, stating that Lula is the protagonist of the biggest corruption scandal in the country's history.
