The president Lula (PT) questioned the absence of the governor of Santa Catarina, Jorginho Mello (PL)during a visit to Petrobrás vessel works in Itajai (SC) this Friday (26).
“He simply did not participate, so as not to form a partnership with the federal government. What is the size of this citizen’s head, what is the quality of the brain mass he has in his head? What is it, it is necessary to research, because a human being cannot be small to the point of not prioritizing the interests of the people of Santa Catarina”he declared.
During the ceremony, Lula further criticized the governor, who is a pre-candidate for re-election.
“They think I’m pleased to come here with the most important company in Brazil, with the Minister of Transport, with the Minister of Port and Airport and the governor, who I don’t even know his name, never had the courage to attend. He never had the courage to attend. Everyone is invited. I should come to explain to you why, during his campaign, he took photographs with a machine gun.”
This is not Mello’s first absence from an event that was attended by Lula.also in Itajaí.
At the time, the governor stated that he would only attend events in which there were federal announcements relevant to the population of Santa Catarina.
on Lula’s first visit to the state in 20 months, the situation was also repeated.
A CNN Brazil contacted Governor Jorginho Mello’s office and is awaiting a response. The space remains open for demonstrations.
