“We’re going to be fighting for her [anistia] all the time, all year round, all our lives, because we don’t think the injustices that were legally committed against the people of the 8th of January are correct.”
Regarding Zambelli, he says he saw exaggeration in the convictions against the deputy, and that she was wronged. He also defended her stance in the episode of the gun chase on the eve of the 2022 election, arguing that she may have felt some fear and that a gun is to use “when we feel cornered”.
“She never had any bad intention or intention of harming any kind of thing. ‘Ah, she ran after the guy with the gun’. Wow, you’ll be in her place, feeling that some fear suddenly came in. She had permission to do everything and the gun is to be used when you feel cornered. Or is a gun to adorn your waist? It’s not,” he said.
“She did everything right for me. She didn’t hurt anyone, she just put the guy in his place.”
