"I want to live until 120 years old": Lula makes statement during live stream with André Janones
President participated in live broadcast on Thursday night (22), which brought together artists and influencers in mobilization for the second round of presidential elections
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) drew attention when talking about longevity during a live broadcast held on Thursday night (22). At the time, the president said, “I want to live to be 120.” The broadcast was held alongside federal deputy André Janones and brought together artists, influencers and supporters of the president in an internet-broadcast conversation.
The initiative also aimed to mobilize voters for the second round of presidential elections, scheduled for Sunday (25). Participants included singer João, actresses Marieta Severo, Camila Pitanga and Leandra Leal, host Serginho Groisman and influencer Nath Finanças. The conversation addressed political issues and included demonstrations in support of Lula’s campaign.
The statement about living up to 120 years can be understood as a personal manifestation about the desire for longevity. However, the specific portion of speech was not located in the reports consulted on the transmission, so the exact context of the statement needs to be confirmed in the original video.
