This Monday afternoon (26), the president of the Federal Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), criticized businessman George Sousa’s attempt to blow up a fuel truck near Brasília International Airport.
Sousa was arrested red-handed over the weekend. According to the Civil Police of the Federal District (PCDF), he confessed that he was planning an attack on the day of the inauguration of president-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
“There is no room in democratic Brazil for acts analogous to terrorism, such as the attempted explosion of a fuel truck in Brasília, which was fortunately aborted by the security forces,” Pacheco said on Twitter.
“The elections ended with the free and conscious choice of the president-elect who will take office on January 1st. Brazil wants peace to move forward and become the country we all want!”, he added.
