    Brazil: Judge suspends swearing-in of former president Lula to Cabinet post"http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/17/americas/brazil-rousseff-lula-tapes/index.html

    “Under Brazilian law, senior political figures can only be tried in the Supreme Federal Tribunal, meaning if Lula is chief of staff, any eventual prosecution would effectively be delayed.”

    "The swearing-in took place amid chaotic scenes in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, with protesters at the ceremony shouting “shame” while government supporters sang “Lula” to the tune of a football chant.“

    ”However, a federal judge in Brasilia, Itagiba Catta Preta Neto, swiftly issued an injunction to preliminarily suspend Lula’s swearing-in on the grounds his appointment prevented the “free exercise of the Judiciary Power, the operation of the Federal Police and of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.”

    Toma!

    “Lula” is squid, not octopus. Eu adoro lulas grelhadas, ou recheadas, mas detesto polvo.

    Lula is his nickname, taken from his original given names, Luiz Inácio. Lula is often an hypocorism for Luís/Luiz. My father was known as “Necas”, from “Manecas” which is from Manuel.
