Júlia Zanatta faces controversy over resurfaced Ibiza video
Brazilian Federal Deputy Júlia Zanatta (PL-SC) has faced social media criticism after an old video from 2014 resurfaced. The footage, originally posted to her Instagram account before her political career, shows her filming a dancer in a nightclub in Ibiza, Spain, including zooming in on the dancer's body.
Following the viral spread of the video on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), users questioned the consistency of the deputy's conservative political stance. Zanatta denied being the woman dancing in the video but confirmed she was the one filming. She responded to critics by stating she has no vocation to be a “fiscal of other people's lives” and joked that her past only condemns her to “work out more and eat better.”
