Brasil: reclamar la libertad de Lula da Silva es defender la democracia

The statement by Friends of the Earth International contends that the legal proceedings against Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva are unconstitutional and serve as a tool for conservative elites to block his return to power. It links his detention to a broader pattern of democratic erosion in Brazil, starting with the 2016 removal of Dilma Rousseff, and highlights the resulting negative impacts on social services, indigenous and peasant rights, and the environment. The text specifically criticizes the influence of 'criminal climate' companies like Shell and Chevron under the Michel Temer administration and reports a rise in violence against human rights defenders.

• The imprisonment of Lula da Silva is characterized as a political maneuver by conservative forces to ensure he cannot run in the national elections and to halt the progress of rights for the majority.
• The document asserts that the administration of Michel Temer has been servile to 'criminal climate' companies, specifically Shell and Chevron, which received favorable modifications to the law regarding the exploration of national offshore oil reserves.
• Under the Temer government, there has been a significant regression in social protections, including the freezing of education and health spending for twenty years via a constitutional amendment and a reduction in credits for family agriculture.
• Brazil and Colombia were identified as the countries with the highest number of assassinated human rights defenders in 2017, totaling 156 between the two nations according to a Front Line Defenders report.
