People are hungrier and have no jobs, Brazil’s former President tells supporters after securing release

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro asked his supporters on Saturday “not to give ammunition to the scoundrel,” the day after popular leftist leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva walked free from jail.

Breaking his silence on the release of his arch-nemesis, Mr. Bolsonaro told his Twitter followers: “Lovers of freedom and good, we are a majority. We cannot make mistakes.” He added that Mr. Lula was “momentarily free, but guilty.”

Mr. Lula’s dramatic exit from jail in the southern city of Curitiba on Friday came a day after a controversial Supreme Court ruling that could release thousands of convicts and undermine a sprawling corruption investigation called Car Wash.
