O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva cobrou neste sábado do governador interino do Rio de Janeiro, Ricardo Couto, a prisão de ladrões e milicianos que comandaram o estado. A declaração ocorreu durante inauguração de centro da Fiocruz.

Lula falou na inauguração das novas instalações do Centro de Desenvolvimento Tecnológico em Saúde da Fiocruz, na capital fluminense. Ele afirmou que, se a Alerj tivesse indicado o sucessor de Cláudio Castro, o escolhido seria ligado à milícia.

O presidente disse a Couto: “Trabalhe para prender todos os ladrões que governaram esse Estado e os deputados que fazem parte de uma milícia organizada”. Couto assumiu o cargo em março após renúncia de Castro e permanece no posto por decisão do STF.

A Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro respondeu em nota pedindo respeito institucional e equilíbrio. O texto criticou a ausência de políticas federais contra o tráfico de armas e a expansão de facções criminosas.
