And in the last 12 months, the Workers Party appealed several times to the press to declare innocence, and to speak out about the operation Lava jet, which became target on Friday (4).
In March 2015, Lula said during a speech to trade unionists and leftist political leaders in the Union of Bank of São Paulo that whistleblowers operation Lava Jato are "bad guys who have to turn heroes" to the opposition parties and that it is "outraged "corruption.

They want the good of the country "
