Lula, in Marambaia Video, Urges End to Left–Right Prejudice

The first lady's Instagram post frames a unity message at the start of Lula's reelection year.

Overview

  • Janja published the video on Instagram on January 10 showing herself and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at Restinga da Marambaia, a restricted Navy area on the Rio coast.
  • In the footage, Lula uses the meeting of waves from different directions as a metaphor to call for ending prejudice between the left and the right.
  • The president appears walking on the beach in a swim brief and a cap bearing the presidential coat of arms at the site where the couple spent the end-of-year recess.
  • Janja's caption says the stay recharged their energy and that they enter 2026 with full strength and a commitment to continue working for the country.
  • Outlets note that Lula has resumed official duties in Brasília and that the message lands early in a year when he is set to seek reelection.
