In 2018, there was a debate about where he should serve his sentence. They gave him solitary confinement at the Federal Police of Curitiba. He was alone in a room with a bed, a table and a bathroom. He couldn’t leave her and to communicate with the jailers he had to knock on the door.
Seven years have passed, Lula was exonerated by the Supreme Court, elected president of the Republic and has two palaces in Brasília. The matter was revived with the arrest of . He is under house arrest, sentenced to 27 years in prison for .
The minister seems willing to test the prisoner, a septuagenarian whose health and nerves are shaken. He would go to a light wing of the Papuda penitentiary. You don’t do that with a former president. For those who hate Bolsonaro, a light wing would be too light. For those who like the former captain, he should serve his sentence at home like former president Fernando Collor does.
In any case, like Lula’s, Brazil should look to the example that France set to the world by imprisoning former president Philippe Pétain. He was an octogenarian marshal who had assumed dictatorial powers after the German invasion in 1940. A classic case of national treason, he was sentenced to death. He was placed in a fortress, where he was given a room, with a small room attached. There, Pétain died of natural causes in 1951.
Bolsonaro is a former president of the Republic brought to power by popular vote. When he risks being sent into a routine similar to that of a usurping, collaborationist marshal, something is wrong.
