Senator Flávio Bolsonaro reacted to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's criticisms regarding the US decision to classify the PCC and CV factions as foreign terrorist organizations.
In a video posted on Friday (29/5), Flávio accused Lula of defending criminals and prioritizing outlaws over victims. He stated that Brazil faces a scenario of narcoterrorism and that the people can no longer live in fear.
Lula said Flávio has no shame in betraying the homeland by requesting US intervention. The president added that if the request had been to arrest militiamen, they would remain imprisoned there.
Flávio met with President Donald Trump on Tuesday (26/5) and personally requested the measure. The US Department of State will officially classify the PCC and CV as Foreign Terrorist Organizations on Friday, June 5.
