Former Record actor blasts Lula and claims STF has ties to corrupt people

Actor André Bankoff, who has participated in several soap operas on TV Globo and Record, used social networks to criticize President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and the STF (Supreme Federal Court). In an Instagram video, he linked ministers to corruption cases and said “there is no democracy” in Brazil today.

Disgusted politicians

The famous man began the video by criticizing President Lula and saying that the Brazilian people have become accustomed to being robbed. “What I am going to say here may disturb you, but my commitment is to the truth. We have a cowardly Senate, a lax House of Representatives and a people trained to be robbed and to lower their heads,” he began.

“We strive and accept this government which is destroying our country (…) Lula was the leader of all the corruption scandals in our country. Now, with Lula 3, he is causing violent damage in the lives of those who have worked all their lives. Ninety billion have been embezzled from retirees,” he declared.

The breach in the INSS (National Social Security Institute), discovered in 2025, however began in 2019, still under the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Furthermore, data from Secom (Secretariat of Communication) indicates that the value does not reach R$90 million, but rather around R$6.3 billion, referring to the period between 2019 and 2024.

Criticized the STF

Next, the Bicho do Mato (2006) and Jezebel (2019) actor said people are “lax.” “That doesn’t bother you, does it? They tell us that we are weak and that they can do what they want with our country.”

Then, André Bankoff also criticized the STF ministers and suggested that they had links with criminals. “There is no justice, there is no democracy. Our justice is involved in the corruption of this government, and anyone who denounces it ends up being persecuted and arrested. My question is: does the STF have its tail attached to the corrupt people who are looting our nation?” he asked.
