Vieira even exposed photos and names associated with racist messages and threats, such as that he “should die like Marielle Franco”, a Rio de Janeiro councilor murdered in 2018. that “there are hundreds of comments like this”. “Apart from the calls to me, to my team, my family…”, he completed.

One of the presenters of the Festival do Futuro, Paulo stressed that it is necessary to be careful to “deal with bandits”, and reinforced that he will be present in any case at the popular party for the inauguration of the president. “I will be in Brasilia on the 1st, alongside my friends Janja and Lula, with great joy and courage. No one is going to steal our joy”.
