According to the president’s interlocutors, the entire event – the first parallel program to a G20 event aimed at social organizations – was designed to reinforce Lula’s speech on combating hunger and inequality.
But, on the day that social movements handed the president a letter with proposals for the heads of state who will meet from this Monday (18th) in Rio de Janeiro, the main headlines about the social G20 in Brazil and abroad are related to Janja.
The statement caused so much internal discomfort that even Lula corrected it in public, saying, at the event where he received the letter, that “we don’t have to insult anyone”. The attitude of Lula, who had never made any public comment to Janja – and internally also always refused to accept criticism of her – surprised some advisors.
Janja’s speeches took place this Saturday (16), during a panel on disinformation with influencer Felipe Neto and other debaters. The first lady did not participate in the discussion on stage, but asked for the microphone from the audience to speak. In six minutes, she cursed the owner of suicide bomber who carried out an attack on the STF and then killed himself.
On X, Musk replied: “They are going to lose the election.”
On Friday (15), in another panel, she also scolded someone in the audience who called the music festival that took place during the G20 event Janjapalooza.
“No, daughter, it’s a global alliance against hunger and poverty, let’s see if you can understand the message, okay?”, she replied from the microphone.
It was in the last act of the festival, in fact, that Lula indirectly disowned his wife. “I wanted to tell you that this is a campaign (against hunger) in which we don’t have to offend anyone, we don’t have to insult anyone. We just need to outrage society”, said the president. Janja was on stage, as were the Minister of Culture, Margareth Menezes and Gilberto Gil.
