“No one happier than you and me. Today is the day to celebrate our love. May the wind come to bless us and take away all evil from us!!”, tweeted Janja, who as of tonight will be the third wife of the former union leader, twice a widower, with whom he began his courtship in 2017, while he was 580 days in prison that prevented him from competing in the elections that consecrated Jair Bolsonaro as president.
More succinctly, Lula tweeted a photo in which his girlfriend hugs him from behind with the emoji of a heart and the legend “@JajaLula”.
Brazilian political analysts take as a fact the irruption in the campaign of the sociologist Rosángela da Silva, Janja, and the current first lady, Michelle Firmo Reinaldo, a 40-year-old evangelical militant, 27 years younger than her husband, the President Bolsonaro, with the aim of “softening” the image of the candidates, in an election where it is likely that there will be no female candidates.
Lula’s wife, affiliated with the PT since 1983, studied Sociology at the Federal University of Paraná and worked for almost twenty years for the Itaipú Binacional energy company in Curitiba (southern Brazil).
Although the Brazilian press affirms that the two have known each other “for decades”, Lula’s advisor assures that they began their relationship at the end of 2017. But the romance was kept secret until May 2019, when Lula had already been there for more than a year. imprisoned at the Curitiba Federal Police headquarters after receiving convictions for corruption that were later annulled in the Lava Jato case.
Rosangela actively participated in the camp that PT militants set up outside the prison demanding his freedom and went to look for him when he left, in November 2019.
Since Lula had his sentences annulled and was able to contest the election, Janja has accompanied him in several of his public appearances, including the launch of his candidacy this month in Sao Paulo.
Lula, born into a poor family in the state of Pernambuco (northeast), was forged in political life through his union activity as a metal worker in Sao Paulo and governed Brazil between 2003 and 2010.
He married for the first time in 1969, with María de Lourdes da Silva, who died two years later from hepatitis and in 1974 with Marisa Leticia, with whom he had four children, who died in 2017 from a cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
