Public figures in Brazil have increasingly voiced their support for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Television presenter Xuxa Meneghel reaffirmed her stance after a misleading video circulated online, clarifying that her previous criticisms were directed at former president Jair Bolsonaro rather than the current administration. Senator Soraya Thronicke also signaled her support for the president via social media, noting her priority is to do what is ‘right and just.’ Adding to this momentum, architect Marta Dora Grostein declared her support for Lula, citing concerns regarding social and cultural policy regressions. Grostein highlighted personal family struggles, specifically mentioning that her son, filmmaker Fernando Grostein Andrade, lived abroad for seven years following death threats related to his sexual orientation. President Lula responded to these comments, stating that the fight for respect and freedom is a shared cause. In a subsequent video released the final stages of the presidential runoff between Lula and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, more prominent figures have joined the movement. Presenter Angélica announced her vote via social media, Grostein expanded stating she does not identify as left-wing or right-wing. She noted that while she initially feared the ‘hate on social media,’ the mobilization of young people inspired her position regarding to speak out in defense of women, children, and the upcoming presidential election. She expressed concerns over potential LGBTQIA+ community. Marta Dora Grostein, mother of presenter Luciano Huck, reiterated her position, citing fears of social and cultural regressions under a Flávio Bolsonaro administration and detailed the severity of the threats faced by her son, including messages stating his body would be delivered ‘in a closed coffin.’ As an educator who lived through Brazil’s military dictatorship, Fernando Grostein urged other parents to recognize the prejudice faced by their children and emphasized her desire to protect LGBTQIA+ rights and social advancements.
