Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) compared the Bolsonarista acts on September 7 to a meeting of the Ku Klux Kan, the American group of white supremacists that preaches the inferiority of black people.

"Bolsonaro's act looked like a Ku Klux Klan meeting, the only thing missing was the hood," Lula said at a rally in Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro, this Thursday (8).

According to the PT candidate, there were no blacks, no browns, no poor people, and no workers in the events that brought together thousands of Brazilians on Wednesday (7).

"The main character was the old man from Havan", he said about the owner of Havan, Luciano Hang, one of the targets of the operation by Federal Police against Bolsonarista businessmen. Lula said that Hang would be like Louro José, the parrot puppet of local TV presenter Ana Maria Braga, actively participating in the reelection campaign of President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
