President Lula attends Rio carnival parade held in his honor

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended a carnival parade at the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro that was dedicated to him. He was accompanied by his wife Janja, political allies, ministers, and banker André Esteves, while local authorities coordinated to manage potential protests. The event occurred as some of Lula's allies were reportedly divided and under scrutiny from Brazil's electoral court.
