(ANSA) - SAN PAOLO, MARCH 10 - "I want to say thanks to our dear Pope Francis, not only for having sent a person, when I was in prison, to deliver me a letter from him, but also for having received me in the Vatican, where we talked about inequality, which is the greatest evil on planet earth ": said the former president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, speaking at a press conference at the Syndicate of mechanics of San Bernardo do Campo, on the outskirts of SanPaolo, the day after the cancellation of the convictions against him by the Supreme Court.
The Pope "is the most important religious we have at this moment", added Lula. (HANDLE).
