Live, the President of the Republic called upon his team to counter the comments made by the commentator.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva decided to intervene when he concluded that journalist Jorge Pontual, a commentator on GloboNews, implied that a social housing program that has been receiving criticism in Campinas (SP) was linked to his government. In reality, the journalist did not make any direct statements or associations.
While criticizing the size of the houses, however, Pontual said, “I have a name for this unfortunate project. My house is not life,” the communicator fired off.
At the time, the journalists on the “Em Pauta” program were discussing the construction of tiny social houses, each measuring 15 square meters, to accommodate residents of the Nelson Mandela Occupation in Campinas. The project is under the authority of the city’s mayor, Dário Jorge Giolo Saadi, and has no connection to the Lula administration.
Nevertheless, Lula felt the need to intervene in the program and made a direct request. Moments later, journalist Eliane Cantanhêde requested to speak and informed the audience that she had received a message from Lula, sent through his press office, emphasizing that the social housing project in Campinas is not a federal initiative.
“We have an esteemed viewer. President Lula is watching Em Pauta. He is in Belém. Good evening, Mr. President, welcome to our program. And the President requested his office to make a request to us. It’s not a correction, but he emphasizes that this program about the small houses is a program in Campinas, it has nothing to do with the federal government, and even less with the Minha Casa Minha Vida program. There you have it, President, fulfilling your request,” the commentator stated.
