Carnival 2023: Lula’s presence in Sapucaí is disputed by two cabins

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his wife Rosângela da Silva, Janja will spend Carnival in Rio. The big question is where the couple will stay on Marquês de Sapucaí. According to F5 As it turned out, Lula was on the list for the mayor and ally Eduardo Paes.

But, to Paes’ disappointment, the president confirmed his presence at Camarote Favela, a space located in sector 6 and which belongs to the president of the national PT and elected federal deputy (RJ), Washington Quaquá. Located in the middle of the Passarela do Samba, next to the second setback of the battery and almost opposite the City Hall (sector 9), the Favela is known for being a political hangout.

Celebrities do not usually frequent the space, where the press is also usually banned. The report also found that more than 30 parliamentarians, including deputies and senators, have already confirmed their presence. The re-elected president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), is also expected in the box.

The Minister of Tourism, Daniela Carneiro, and her husband, Wagner Carneiro, better known as Waguinho, mayor of Belford Roxo, are other confirmed names on the Favela list. Daniela has been the target of pressure in the PT government since Folha showed the bond that her political group has maintained for at least four years with the family of a PM sentenced to 26 years for murder and criminal association. The minister also received electoral support from others accused of leading armed groups in Baixada Fluminense.

wanted by F5, the advisory of the Presidency of the Republic informed that “it is not yet defined” in which box Lula will watch the parades in Sapucaí. Eduardo Paes’ team, on the other hand, stated that they still did not have any information about her presence in the city hall and highlighted that they could not say “neither that they do, nor that they don’t”.
