Bolsonarists criticize Lula about “beautiful woman” in the political articulation

After President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s chauvinist commentary on the choice of the new Minister of Institutional Relations, Gleisi Hoffmann (PT), for the post, pockets used social networks to criticize the statement but also to mock the appearance of the licensed federal deputy.

Lula said he put a “beautiful woman” in the political articulation to have a good relationship with the National Congress, on Wednesday, 12, during an event at the Planalto Palace.

Federal Deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) wrote in his X (former Twitter) profile that he will “miss the feminists, referring to the expression used for those who justify or minimize negative achievements when they come from friends or allies.

Also deputy Gustavo Gayer (PL-GO) published a casual photo of Gleisi, with natural hair and wearing a t-shirt, whose caption indicates that the deputy mocks the appearance of the minister. “Lula has just declared war against Congress,” he wrote, followed by a line of laughter.

The deputy also provoked the petista’s boyfriend, also federal deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), wondering if he would accept that the boss “offered” Gleisi “how a pimp offers a call girl”-speaks harshly criticized by petistas, including Lindbergh.

Deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP) also made a “call” to “feminists.” “Lula attacks his own minister with a misogynistic speech, days after International Women’s Day. What is the amazement? He always did that, ”asked the deputy, accusing Gleisi of being“ hypocritical ”and stating that, as the statement came from“ her master ”, she would not be offended.

Deputy Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ) also used the term “misogyny,” which means “hatred against women,” when criticizing the president. “Just missing feminists!” He wrote.

The opposition leader in the House, Deputy Luciano Zucco (PL-RS), said it was “curious to note that in a scenario where leaders are expected to promote gender equality and value professional competence, our president chooses to reduce a woman to her physical appearance”, in a speech in the house plenary.

Lula’s statement occurred a few days after former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), which accumulates macho statements throughout the political trajectory, has been recorded telling supporters who considers women who support the “ugly” and “incomible” workers party. Many petistas have justified that when he “praised” Gleisi, Lula would be counters Bolsonaro.

Gleisi came out in defense of Lula on Thursday (13) criticizing the Bolsonarists for the attacks on the president and recalling episodes in which Bolsonaro has been macho in recent years. The most famous case was when the then federal deputy said he would “not rape” Mrs Maria do Rosário (PT-RS) “because she doesn’t deserve it.”

Bolsonaro was convicted in the civil sphere to indemnify his colleague at $ 10,000, while criminal actions were filed because the crime prescribed. The episode, however, placed the spotlight in the then “erased” deputy, bringing up conservative people and guidelines around a central figure.
