Valdemar ‘will beat them’, says Lula after posing with PL mayors at event

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) joked about the possible reaction of the PL president, Valdemar Costa Neto, with the photo in which the PT member appears alongside mayors from former president Jair Bolsonaro’s party. The meeting was recorded this Monday in Mauá, in São Paulo, where the PT member participated in the announcement of acquisitions in the fields of education and health.

— The president of their party (Valdemar Costa Neto) is going to beat them, because they are in a photo with me — said Lula.

Lula’s statement took place alongside five mayors and two municipal secretaries who represented cities with ambulances financed with resources from the federal government. Among those present on stage, only the mayor of Mauá, Marcelo Oliveira (PT), is an ally of the Planalto occupant.

Mayors Tite Campanella, from São Caetano do Sul, and Guto Volpi, from Ribeirão Pires, are part of the Valdemar party. After the photo, Lula told those present that the PL is the government’s “biggest enemy” in the Chamber.
