Marielle Franco

Y entonces, en este sentido, lo que debería hacerles daño a su imagen, que es estar involucrados en, ah, en escándalos de corrupción o mismo en el crimen organizado, al final, ah, sirve para, ah, fortalecer esta imagen de que bueno, si estamos con ellos, si participamos de este movimiento, la ley que valdrá de una manera a los otros, no valdrá de la misma manera para nosotros.

A principios de este año, el Tribunal Supremo de Brasil condenó a cinco hombres a penas de prisión tras declararlos culpables de conspirar para asesinar en 2018 a la concejala de Río de Janeiro, Marielle Franco, y a su chofer.

Entre los hombres declarados culpables están el excongresista Chiquinho Brazão y su hermano Domingo.

Marielle Franco era una mujer negra y lesbiana conocida por sus duras críticas a las muertes a manos de la policía en las empobrecidas favelas de Brasil.

¿Cómo se relaciona eso con los Bolsonaro? Hace seis años, The Guardian publicó al respecto.

El informe alegaba que los presuntos asesinos de Marielle Franco, la política de izquierda que fue asesinada a tiros en marzo de 2018, se habían reunido en el complejo costero de Bolsonaro en Río de Janeiro horas antes de su asesinato.

¿Qué hay de la muerte de Marielle Franco y de la relación con los Bolsonaro? ¿Se cree que hubo esa conexión?

No existe ningún, ah, ninguna relación comprobada entre el asesinato de Marielle Franco y la familia Bolsonaro.

So introducing our speakers in turn, we have Mariana Riscali, who's from the Socialist Left Movement or MES, which is part of the Socialism and Liberty Party PSOL in Brazil.

She is a member of PSOL's National Executive Committee and Executive Director of the Laura Campos and Marielle Franco Foundation.

Then we also have Adela Brent, who was born in El Salvador and has spent almost a year in Venezuela.

She is the coordinator of the Australian Solidarity with Latin America, which is ASLA.

But this time we decided not to do so because of a tactical analysis about the gravity of the situation.

So our position was that it was a necessary tactical vote, but maintaining our independence without dissolving our party into BT's project.

Even our foundation, Laura Campos and Marielle Franco, which is responsible for the program elaboration of the party, we did not take part in drafting the program of Lula's coalition for the elections.

So we are going to campaign for his victory, but we do not sign his program.

Ninguém tem chuteira do projeto.

Pra completar, o Chiquinho Brazão, ex-deputado federal, preso, condenado a 76 anos de prisão por ser um do-- ao lado do irmão Domingos Brazão, mandantes da morte da Marielle Franco e do Anderson-

Que tinha atuação justamente em Taquara para tentar evitar, entre outras coisas, a grilagem de terras e a especulação imobiliária que a f-- eu ia chamar de clã, mas é a máfia dos Brazão e a milícia dos Brazão tinham justamente nesse lugar.

De novo, né? Não acreditamos em coincidência pelo que abundam, abundam.

That's just kind of been buried.

Okay, so today another scandal involving Flavio Bolsonaro came out, which is that he allocated $40,000 of his Senate funding to a social project at the request of a man who is doing a nine-year jail sentence for providing the weapons and arranging the hitman against Marielle Franco, the slain socialist city councilwoman who was murdered in 2018 with her driver Anderson.

It's just nonstop corruption allegations against Flavio Bolsonaro.

They're just getting buried in the media.
