Brazil’s Liberal Party Posts ‘Big Baixaria Brasil’ Parody Mocking Lula Allies

Overview

• The PL released the video on January 13 via its social accounts, styling the piece as a reality show called “Big Baixaria Brasil.”
• The soundtrack adapts Paulo Ricardo’s BBB theme “Vida Real” with new lyrics that emphasize tax criticism and cite inflation and corruption accusations.
• Targets include Lula as “motorista de mentiras,” first lady Janja as “Esbanja,” and Finance Minister Fernando Haddad as “Taxad,” paired with the line “se não ganhar, taxa o ganhador.”
• Additional figures singled out include Sidônio Palmeira, Paulo Pimenta, Carlos Lupi, Dilma Rousseff, Érika Hilton, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and lobbyist Antônio Carlos Antunes, the “Careca do INSS.”
• The PL’s post asks followers whom they would eliminate first, and national outlets report the clip’s circulation with no recorded responses from those targeted as BBB’s new season launches.
