On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Valeska Teixeira Martins, the defense lawyer for former Brazilian president Lula Da Silva. She discusses why his incarceration for 580 days was illegal, why there is still a long way to go for the rule of law to return in Brazil, why Sergio Moro waged ‘lawfare’ on Lula Da Silva, Bolsonaro’s complicity in imprisoning the former leader, and more! Finally, we speak to former Brazilian finance minister, Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira, about the BRICS summit being held in Brasilia, why Bolsonaro’s presidency is antithetical to the BRICS project, the coup against Bolivian President Evo Morales, the release of Lula Da Silva, and why Brazil is facing a moral and economic crisis!
