Janja Posts Marambaia Video of Lula Calling for Left-Right Unity

The beachfront clip uses a holiday setting at a military retreat to convey a symbolic appeal for reconciliation.

Overview

  • First lady Janja shared the video on Instagram on Saturday, Jan. 10, showing the couple at Restinga da Marambaia in Rio de Janeiro.
  • In the footage, Lula, wearing swim briefs and a cap with the presidential insignia, highlights the meeting of the Atlantic Ocean and Sepetiba Bay as a metaphor for overcoming left-right prejudice.
  • He says waves from the right and left join to form the sea, describing the scene as an extraordinary demonstration against political polarization.
