Lula’s allies criticize DPU for charging Yanomami – 02/06/2023 – Panel

Lawyers aligned with the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) see the demand made by the Federal Public Defender’s Office (DPU) for more speed in measures to contain the Yanomami crisis as a reflection of the imminent change in the body.

On the last January 31, Lula withdrew the nomination made by the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government for the reappointment of the general public defender of the Union to the position. Macedo is seen in the current government as being sympathetic to Bolsonarism.

As the Panel showed, the DPU sent a letter to the Lula government in which it criticized the delay in sending planes and personnel to help control the Yanomami crisis.

Among allies of the PT administration, the movement was seen with strangeness, due to the fact that Macedo did not manifest himself with the same emphasis on the indigenous issue in the previous mandate.

One of those quoted to be elevated to the post of general public defender is Igor Roque, head of the DPU in Brasilia. He has the support, among others, of the legal group Prerogativas, aligned with the current government.
