Party also mentions January 8th and reinforces the theme of “no amnesty”. “The PT reinforces the mobilization against the amnesty for the coup plotters, demands punishment of everyone who planned, financed and organized the coup plot and the attacks of January 8th, whether civilian or military. Everyone: from its commander, Jair Bolsonaro, to the generals and coup military leaders, businessmen and others involved in the conspiracy”, they write.
Lula seeks reconciliation with the barracks after the events of January 8th. This was the reason for his reluctance to remember the date at official federal government events.
Before the president’s veto, the ministry had planned public apologies, says Folha de S.Paulo. The Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship had already raised a possible slogan for the action: “60 years of the coup 1964-2024: without memory there is no future”.
In an interview, Lula said he would not like to “remember the past”. To journalist Kennedy Alencar, Lula said that he had more concerns “with the coup of January 8, 2023 than with ’64” and said that, although parts of the history of the military period still remain incomplete, he preferred to “move the country forward “.
What I can’t do is not know how to move the story forward, keep rehashing it, always rehashing it, in other words, it’s a part of Brazil’s history that we still don’t have all the information about, because there are still people missing, because there are people that can be investigated. But, honestly, I’m not going to dwell on it and I’m going to try to move this country forward.
