Lula given permission to attend grandson’s funeral

By 750 0

Brazil’s former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is imprisoned in a federal facility in Paraná’s capital Curitiba was offered a jet to leave prison to attend his grandson’s funeral. His 7 year old grandson died of meningitis on Friday. The funeral is scheduled to happen today in Sao Paulo.

The state government of Parana said that one of its planes will be taking Lula to Sao Paulo, “following a request by the federal police.” A judge still needs to give authorization.

Lulu, on Friday got immense response on Brazilian social medias in favor to his release from jail to attend the funeral. But lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, Tweeted that Lula will not be allowed to attend the funeral.

Eduardo said “Lula is just an inmate and he should be at a common prison. When the relatives of other inmates die will they also be escorted by the federal police for the funeral? It is absurd to even contemplate that. It only lets him pose as a poor thing.” It was not sure that whether Lula will be given permission to attend the funeral. But later after several procedures, he was given the permission.

Lula was the former union leader who served as the 35th President of Brazil from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2010. He was a founding member of the Workers’ Party (PT) and ran unsuccessfully for President three times before achieving victory in the 2002 election, being re-elected in the 2006 election.

  • Butter : 6 tablespoons
  • Dry white breadcrumbs : 1 cup
  • Fresh white bread : 2 slices (cut into 1/2 inch squares)
  • Potatoes : 3 1/2 cups (cold, cooked, riced, about 4 to 5 medium potatoes; russets or other baking potatoes)

Place the riced potatoes in a large bowl. mix the flour, farina, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, nutmeg, and pepper in a bowl. Add the mix in three or more portions to the potatoes, beating after each addition.
