Brazilia_ After Tuesday's attack with firearms Lula's caravan for Brazil will close its fourth day today at Boca Maldita, Curitiba, in a climate surrounded by tension, Prensa Latina publishes. 

Beyond the attack perpetrated yesterday and denounced by the Workers' Party (PT) president in the state of Paraná, Doutor Rosinha, as 'a clear attempt of murder' against the former-leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, other elements point towards the straining of the atmosphere in the capital of Paraná.

Coinciding with the closure of the caravan, the federal deputy and presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (Social Liberal Party), linked to the extreme right-wing groups that besieged Lula and his entourage throughout the trip, announced since last week that he would travel to Curitiba this Wednesday.

Bolsonaro, a member of the so-called bullet group (bancada de la bala) in the lower house, is scheduled to arrive at 11:30 (local time) at Afonso Pena airport and from there his followers plan to organize a caravan of cars to accompany him during the few hours he will remain in the city.

For its part, and according to the Bocamaldita.com website, also the far-right group Movimiento Brasil Libre (MBL) programmed a provocative demonstration that must leave the Barigui Park and reach the 19 of Diciembre square, near the place where the act of support for Lula will take place and almost at the same time.

As it was released last night through alternative media, representatives of the Lawyers Collective for Democracy (CAAD) will hand over the Public Ministry (MP) the complaints about the attacks against the caravan of Lula on his journey through the southern region of the country.

The fourth stage of the Lula for Brazil project, an initiative of the PT and the Perseu Abramo Foundation, began last March 19 in Rio Grande do Sul and from the first day was the victim of 'fascist acts of the agrarian right-wing', as reported in due course by the PED party in the Chamber of Deputies.
