Lula attacks Mendonça at rally and tries to react to crisis: 'The Vorcaro orgies will start to appear, mess with a lot of people in politics'

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva directly accused Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Court (STF), of leaking details of investigations that interested him. The accusation occurred during a rally in Curitiba, Paraná, where the presidential candidate was trying to react to a political crisis.

At the event, Lula attacked the Bolsonaro family and tried to link his main opponent in the presidential race, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), to the INSS scandal. The president sought to tie the opponent to the ongoing investigations.

Lula reported on a request he made to the president of the Court, Minister Edson Fachin, questioning the conduct of the reporting judge who, according to him, released selected information that only benefited certain interests.

The president stated that, with the lifting of the secrecy orders determined by Fachin on Thursday, it will be possible to know who is involved in irregularities, promising that "the Vorcaro orgies will start to appear, mess with a lot of people in politics."

Why this matters

Readers are affected because the accusations involve the Supreme Court and ongoing investigations into irregularities at the INSS, in addition to directly implicating political opponents in the final stretch of the presidential campaign. The dispute between Lula and the Bolsonaro family continues to define the national political landscape.

Scrutiny Needed!

A new private Family Health Unit opened in Torres Vedras, concessioned by the State, serving 5,463 users without a family doctor, while 19 similar units are in the process of opening, five in the Algarve. The article questions the transfer of responsibilities from the NHS to private operators, suggesting that the Ministry of Health was unable or unwilling to hire available doctors. It also mentions rumors, denied by the Minister, about the handover of ULS Algarve to the Union of Misericórdias, and warns of a "profound reformulation" of the NHS without the necessary democratic scrutiny, recalling that PSD voted against the creation of the service in 1979 and that a 1982 decree-law on the NHS was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
