Ciro Nogueira erases critical post to the Lula administration with pun on the Pope’s death
Senator Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI), former minister of the Civil House in the Bolsonaro government, deleted this week a publication in which he used a traditional term of the papal conclave to mock the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT). The post was made on Monday (21), the same day that Pope Francis’ death was confirmed.
“Habemus deficit! Habemus hunger! Habemus Violence! May God enlighten Brazil”Wrote Nogueira, in reference to the Latin expression “Habemus Papam”used to announce the election of a new Pope after the meeting of the cardinals in the Vatican.

Given the repercussion, the senator deleted the post. After the controversy, he stated that the content had no direct relationship with the death of the pontiff and that the target of criticism was exclusively the situation of the country under the Lula administration.
The publication repercussions especially between Catholic and parliamentary users of the opposition, who considered the use of inadequate religious symbolism, especially in the context of global grief. Even erased, the post had already been widely shared and generated debates about the limit between political satire and respect for sensitive themes.
Ciro Nogueira is one of Progressives’ main leaders in Congress and has been positioned as a constant critic of the Lula administration. The attempt to associate the solemn moment of the Catholic Church with political criticism generated noise in a scenario already tensioned by ideological disputes on social networks.
