With the presence of the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the first lady, Janja Lula da Silva, the Workers' Party promoted a dinner on Wednesday night (20 March 2024) to celebrate the party's 44th anniversary, completed on February 10, in Brasília.
Lula and Janja arrived at the event, held at the CICB (Brasília International Convention Center), at 8:40 pm. They entered through a side entrance and were welcomed by the PT president, deputy Gleisi Hoffmann, and the party's finance secretary, Gleide Andrade. The 2 left around 11:50 pm.
Historical party figures such as former deputy and former minister José Dirceu and former treasurer Delúbio Soares went to the event. Dirceu, who showed strength by bringing together politicians for his birthday party, did not stop during the party. He was very attached.
Before the speeches, while the guests were still socializing, the event's big screen showed reports about the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and, at certain times, criticism of the former Chief Executive, such as a photo of him accompanied by the phrase “merchant of Death”.
Lula stayed in a reserved area in the main hall, isolated by a red ribbon and security guards from the GSI (Institutional Security Office). The space had 3 large rectangular tables where the PT member, Janja, ministers and some guests, such as the singer Maria Rita, were seated.
