The former president published a photo on Instagram in which he seems to be dedicating his vows to his partner while putting her wedding ring on her, in a party room in the wealthy neighborhood Brooklynfrom Saint Paul.
Closed to the press, the event brought together nearly 200 guests, including family members, politicians and artists, who only got to know the location the day before. Upon entering the party, they were instructed to leave their cell phones in the cloakroom, according to local media.
the former president Dilma Rousseff, the former governor of São Paulo and Lula’s vice-presidential candidate, Gerald Alckminand the singer Gilbert Gilamong others, were seen arriving at the party, which began at 7:00 p.m. local time (same time in Argentina).
It is the third marriage of Lula, widowed twice.
At 76, she said “yes” to “Janja”, a smiling 55-year-old woman, feminist and long-time militant of the leftist Workers’ Party (PT).
Lula wore a blue suit and Rosángela a cream-white dress designed by the Brazilian stylist Helo Rocha: a romantic model with a boat neck, loose sleeves and an organza skirt, with delicate designs of stars, moons, cacti and other plants from the Brazilian semi-arid region. hand embroidery
According to the CNN Brasil channel, the nine-hour party would be animated by a DJ and live music and the menu would include “typical Brazilian flavors” such as shrimp stew, crab dishes or rice with meat.
In recent days, various rumors have circulated on social networks and columns about the cost of the party. Some followers of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, his main rival in the presidential elections, accused Lula of throwing an ostentatious party.
Lula’s new wife, affiliated with the PT since 1983, studied Sociology at the Federal University of Paraná and worked for almost twenty years for the energy company Itaipu Binational in Curitiba (southern Brazil).
Although the Brazilian press affirms that the two have known each other “for decades”, Lula’s adviser 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 imprisoned for more than a year at the Curitiba Federal Police headquarters after being convicted of corruption in the Lava Jato case.
Rosángela 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 enabled to contest the election, he has accompanied him in several of his public appearances, including the launch of his candidacy this month in São 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 São Paulo and governed the country between 2003 and 2010.
He married for the first time in 1969, with Mary of Lourdes da Silvawho died two years later from hepatitis and in 1974 with Marisa Leticiawith whom he had four children, died in 2017 of a stroke.
