Lula’s (PT) victory for a third term as president was celebrated or lamented by many celebrities, who followed the 2022 elections with particular interest. On the one hand, the supporters of the elected president were ecstatic, but those who preferred the reelection Jair Bolsonaro (PL) did not like the result.
One of the first to speak on the subject was singer Gilberto Gil, who was Lula’s minister before. “Lula carries with him today the hope of the Brazilian people for better days,” he said. “A huge responsibility, but placed on a person with an extraordinary history and who has already shown himself capable of transforming the lives of those who need it most. Today we celebrate his life and wish him serenity to face the challenges and willingness to remain firm in the mission he fulfills. for our Brazil. Long live Lula! That hug!”
Another Gil, former BBB Gil do Vigor, joked with a phrase he used to repeat in the reality show. “Brazil is no longer chipped,” he wrote.
In turn, singer Anitta said she was relieved. “If love won, now is the time to put that love into practice,” she said. “Putting democracy into practice. Welcoming and respecting the neighbor who voted differently, understanding and respecting the person who voted the same as you but disagrees on some things. Only then can we never live the nightmare that was this election again. This social war that As long as we still treat the other with aggression, anger and disrespect, we will only be the mirror of what we say we are fighting against.”
Ludmilla also used social media to celebrate. “Brazil smiling again. We are together, my president. After the inauguration is on me”, she wrote. Pabllo Vittar said only: “Very happy, my God”.
Even international star Leonardo DiCaprio commented on Lula’s victory. “The result of the Brazilian election gives us an opportunity to change the course of history, not only for Brazil and the Amazon, but for the world.”
Comedian Marcelo Adnet criticized Bolsonaro. “First time that a president is not reelected. The worst president in history, even abusing the machine, is defenestrated”, he said. Antonio Tabet, from Porta dos Fundos, commented: “There were 700,000 deaths in the pandemic and two million votes difference to Lula. Bolsonaro lost to mourning. Life won death.”
Colleague Carlinhos Maia said he was happy with the result. “Congratulations Lula, now it’s working for everyone,” he wrote on social media. “Thinking of everyone. To those who have lost so many friends and family to politics, now it’s time to move on in peace and remembering that the voice of the people will always be the voice of God!”
Roger Moreira, from Ultraje a Rigor, was one of those who didn’t like the result. “Look, I’m not sad because Bolsonaro lost but because Lula won,” he said. “We already know how the thief rules, but this time it could be even worse. Let’s impeach (sic) the clumsy and his minions. Before the damage is even greater.”
Another who didn’t seem happy was the comedian Mauricio Meirelles. “The good news: Bolsonaro will leave. The bad news: Lula will enter,” he wrote. Some of the most staunch supporters of the current president, such as Gusttavo Lima, Regina Duarte and Cássia Kis, had not expressed themselves until the last update of this text.
