Around 30 people attended the celebration, according to the newspaper. The globe. The first months of Lula’s third government and the defeats suffered by the Planalto in recent weeks, such as the emptying of ministries in the environmental area, would have been discussed at the event.

Ministers Margareth Menezes (Culture), Flávio Dino (Justice), Anielle Franco (Racial Equality), Alexandre Padilha (Institutional Relations), Rui Costa ( Civil House), Luiz Marinho (Labor) and Paulo Pimenta (Social Communication).

Only parliamentarians who hold leadership positions were at the barbecue: Randolfe Rodrigues (Congress), Jaques Wagner (Senate), and José Guimarães (Chamber). Among the components of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes and Gilmar Mendes were invited, as well as Ricardo Lewandoviski, former Minister of the Supreme Court. What caught the attention of those present was the restriction on the use of cell phones at the event – the devices would have been collected right at the entrance to the barbecue.

Former Minister of the Environment in the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and federal deputy for the PL, Ricardo Salles, mocked the barbecue. On his Twitter account, Salles called the fraternization “good news”. “Yesterday, the distribution of sirloin steak effectively began with public money but, for the time being, only for Ministers at a barbecue in Alvorada! In addition to the picanha, there was a skewer run from Marina and Guajajara ”, he wrote.
