Freed Brazilian ex-president Lula speaks to jubilant supporters
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva told a crowd of thousands that he did not have a ‘thirst for revenge’
Former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has addressed thousands of jubilant supporters outside a union headquarters a day after being released from prison.
Dressed in a black blazer and T-shirt, Lula spoke from a stage outside the union near São Paulo that he once led and that served as the base for his political career. “During 580 days, I prepared myself spiritually, prepared myself to not have hatred, to not have thirst for revenge,” he said on Saturday.
