Osvaldo Barsanti,

lawyer for Donda's domestic worker, had denounced that the official offered her client a contract at INADI or to write her down in a social plan, if she gave up work at home.

Donda said in this regard: "I offered to manage social assistance,

I do not understand why it is delicate

. She is a woman who needed it, I did not offer to renounce any of her rights."

He added in his attempt to justify his attitude: "I was not going to manage it personally,

any social assistance is public, it is on the page. She

is a lady who, for example, is very difficult to know how to claim the IFE charge and surely it did not".

The head of the agency confirmed that she offered her domestic worker a contract at INADI "how can you help a person you have known for a long time", and admitted that many people come to work

"by proximity."

Also, that he offered to help her manage a retirement.

"This person, for example, could work," he said, "within the program of promoters against discrimination. It

was a job improvement due to the situation of vulnerability he was in.

In case he accepted (to work) in INADI, he would not have to work anymore. in the house and the compensation was going to be paid. "

Finally, he crossed the lawyer for the domestic worker: "A living person who wants it is to be famous and (she) is used politically.

I regret that they use her in her vulnerable situation."

He closed: "Nobody well-intentioned can think that I am going to be exposing

myself

in that way

. If she does not go to justice, I am going to go, because everything can be verified.

The construction of these news does not do good to democracy."

Earlier, the lawyer released an audio in which Donda said to his domestic employee: “What I'm telling you is that you can write down a plan or something, we can write you down.

I need you to tell me that, if you resign, because you have to unsubscribe to be able to sign up for a plan.

The same, later you can pay to take out your retirement.

But I also need to figure that out.

And I also understand that you need your money.

In the plans they are charging about 10,000 pesos and the considerations can be close to your house ".

Where he published in the afternoon on his Twitter account a text where he stated: "A few months ago, that person expressed his interest in giving up the relationship we had, for personal reasons. It was in this situation that he recommended the possibility of accessing some social benefit that would allow him to have an income to which he would make some consideration in his neighborhood ".
