President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is expected to publicly address the messages that reveal the relationship between banker Daniel Vorcaro, of Banco Master, and Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court. Until now, Lula had remained silent on the matter, but allies indicate that defending investigations is among the government's priorities.
According to interlocutors who follow the discussions within the PT campaign, Lula intends to adopt the same approach used in statements about the suspicions involving his eldest son, businessman Fábio Luis Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha. The strategy is to defend both the investigations and the magistrate's right to present his defense.
The possibility of a public statement was discussed by the re-election candidate's team. The understanding is that a public statement could be a way to prevent the crisis in the Court from affecting the electoral campaign. The president's aides are still discussing what format will be used to address the topic.
The central idea of the pronouncement is that Lula speak on the matter as a way to distance himself from the crisis involving the Supreme Federal Court, rather than being dragged along by it during the campaign.
