The Minister of Health, (PT), said on Friday (15) that the ones of his wife and 10-year-old daughter is a cowardly act and unrelated to the already extinct partnership of the Mais Médicos program with Cuba.
Padilha stated that the sanction “has to do with an attempt to intimidate those who do not lower their heads to Trump, who does not continence to the US flag.”
“The Bolsonaro clan, who orchestrates this, has to explain what risk a 10 -year -old may have to the US government,” the minister said during an interview with GloboNews.
The measure was taken two days after the government’s state department canceled the visa of employees who implemented the Mais Médicos program. Like the Sheet He showed, Padilha. The minister, however, is with the visa overdue, so the measure has not reached him.
“I am absolutely outraged by this cowardly attitude. I learned by my wife’s message,” the minister told GloboNews.
Padilha stated that the Bolsonaro family set up a “betrayal firm” against Brazil in the United States. He also said that several countries received doctors in partnerships with the Cuban government and were not punished, such as Italy, whose first minister, is aligned with the ultra right.
The minister called the sanction “diplomatic incident” during a schedule in Recife.
“I want to explain to me what my 10 -year -old daughter can mean at risk. [Trump] You have to explain not only to me and not only to Brazil, but to the world. It is a diplomatic incident. “
The communications received by the wife and the daughter of Padilha say that “information has emerged that you may be ineligible for the visa.” The information was confirmed by Sheet.
“If it is currently outside the United States, the revocation of the visa has immediate effect and the Lord will not be able to travel with your current American visa. If you are physically present in the United States, the revocation of the visa will immediately come into force after your departure. If you intend to travel to the United States, you should request a new visa,” says one of the texts received by family members of the minister.
On Wednesday (13), the State Department of the announced that it would revoke visas from Brazilian and former PAHO (Pan American organization) authorities who had acted in hiring Cuban doctors in.
Trump management said it had revoked the visas of Mozart Júlio Tabosa Sales and Alberto Kleiman. The State Department said both “worked in Brazil during the Mais Médicos program and played a role in planning and implementing the program.”
Mozart is currently secretary of specialized health care and very close to Padilha. Already Kleiman is general coordinator for COP30 of the organization of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty (OTCA), an intergovernmental organization of which the governments of countries that have Amazon rainforest in their territories include.
More doctors was implemented in 2013, during the Dilma Rousseff administration, to bring doctors to areas with lack of professionals. At the time, Padilha was also Minister of Health and those affected Wednesday by the US decision worked with him.
Prior to the revocation of health -related visas, the United States government had announced, on July 18, the same measure for Supreme Court ministers, including Alexandre de Moraes.
The punishment occurred after the licensed deputy (-SP) had a tour of Washington in search of punishment for the Supreme Minister in recent months.
The announcement of July 18 was made by Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on social network. “I ordered the revocation of a visa to Moraes and his allies in the court, as well as for direct family members, immediately,” he said at the time.
Rubio associated the measure with the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in the STF. He is a defendant on charges of leading an attempted coup d’état in 2022 to prevent President Lula’s (PT) inauguration.
