Brazil's COVID deaths 'biggest genocide in our history': Lula [View all]
Former left-wing president hits out at President Jair Bolsonaro, saying the country will not withstand COVID if ‘he continues to govern’.
26 Mar 2021
Brazil’s more than 300,000 deaths from COVID-19 amount to the “biggest genocide” in the Latin American country’s history, former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Friday in a scathing attack on current leader Jair Bolsonaro.
“On Tuesday, 3158 people died of COVID in Brazil. It’s the biggest genocide in our history,” Lula told Germany’s Der Spiegel weekly, adding that Bolsonaro had lied to the Brazilian people about the pandemic.
“We must save Brazil from COVID-19,” the former president added, saying that “Brazil will not withstand it if this man continues to govern in this way.”
As Brazil surpassed 300,000 deaths from the virus on Wednesday, Lula called on Bolsonaro to apologise to the families of victims.
