"They'll have to confront me, yet again," said former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva.


Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva on Friday slammed Brazilian news outlet Rede Globo, the largest corporate television network in South America, for attacking his character.

Lula said that Rede Globo, like other mainstream media outlets, serve to uphold elites who are opposed to progressive politicians, like himself. The former president, who is slated to run for reelection in 2018 representing the leftist Workers’ Party, has vowed to combat false narratives about his candidacy.

“Since they've decided to try to destroy my biography, something I only owe to the people, not them, they'll have to confront me, yet again, in the streets of this country,” Lula said during a speech at the Bank Worker's Union.

“I won't allow them to continue lying. The desire of my life is to compete in the elections against the candidate promoted by Rede Globo.”
