Janja’s gaffes at the G20 embarrass government and irritate allies

President Lula (PT) himself said, at an event at the end of the night, that his allies were not supposed to “swear anyone”. People who are part of the government say that he repeats this frequently, but they do not rule out a hint.

For what?

Avoiding unnecessary controversies has been one of the government’s attempts. Although Lula often doesn’t follow this plan, there is an understanding at the top that the management has a lot of headaches and that, if it can get away from a new one, the better — gaffes like these from the first lady result in exactly that.

Lula, for example, has not yet spoken about the attack in Brasília. Even though he was charged, he left it up to the ministers to comment and did not even make a post on the internet. The understanding is that talking about the issue would only amplify it and could even bring more international repercussions because of the G20.

Janja went the opposite way. “What unbelievably happened in Brasília this week, and the ‘beast’ there ended up killing himself with fireworks”, said Janja, during the G20 Talks, promoted by her, laughing and making the audience laugh. “We laugh, but it’s serious, guys.”

Earlier, the first lady had already gone viral on the networks for provoking Musk. “I think it’s Elon Musk. I’m not afraid of you, actually! Fuck you, Elon Musk”, said Janja, after having a microphone problem while presenting another painting. The billionaire, who is expected to take up a position in Donald Trump’s new government, replied on X that Lula would lose the next election.
