S\u00e3o Paulo. September 27, 2022.- Former President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva met today with representatives of the Brazilian sports sector, such as athletes, former athletes, supporters, journalists and executives. At the meeting held in Ibirapuera, S\u00e3o Paulo, he reiterated that sport should be a tool to improve people's lives and unite Brazil and regretted that today sport is forgotten and that there are times of greater violence than before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my football days, we would go out to Vila Carioca to play at Parque Sao Jorge. Corinthians all together, Corinthians, S\u00e3o Paulinos, Santos, all together. We played, we joked, we made fun of each other and there was no fighting,\u201d said Lula. \u201cToday people are afraid of putting on their team\u2019s shirt and being attacked, and that is motivated by hatred and fascism,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former president also regretted that today a pregnant woman was attacked for campaigning for the PT in S\u00e3o Gon\u00e7alo, Rio de Janeiro. "A Bolsonarista attacked that woman with blows, because Bolsonarism represents a part of society that we thought did not exist," he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lula recalled that in previous years one could campaign without fear of being attacked because the violence was only verbal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Now we have a president who does not distribute books for schools, but is selling weapons, is freeing up the sale of weapons. And the freeing up of weapons is not for poor people because it is drug trafficking, it is organized crime, that is buying weapons," he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violence against Lula supporters has been recurrent in recent weeks. On Monday, the murder of a person in a bar for expressing that he would vote for Lula da Silva was reported. Brazilian police are also investigating a second murder in Rio do Sul, in the Bolsonarist state of Santa Catarina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police also said Saturday that a Bolsonaro supporter beat a woman in the city of Angra dos Reis, near Rio de Janeiro, for criticizing the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lula da Silva called on those attending the meeting to help rebuild peace through sport. \u201cWe need you, who understand sport, to help build a good sports policy for this country, from childhood to old age. Make sport part of our daily lives. If you contribute, we will succeed,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
