The president and the first lady participated in an end-of-year celebration at Palácio da Alvorada, where they received Christmas gifts from several ministers. The Minister of Racial Equality, Anielle Franco, was one of those who brought souvenirs, offering two baobab seedlings and a bottle of wine. Janja, in turn, received a notebook-shaped diary and also a wine. The Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, presented the couple with a painting and socks from the Pé de Meia program, which aims to support low-income high school students with a monthly aid of R$200.
In addition to these gifts, the Minister of Science and Technology, Luciana Santos, brought a flower as a souvenir. Although other ministers also made their donations, many chose not to bring gifts. The get-together took place between 1pm and 3pm and included a lunch that included typical dishes such as turkey, cod, rice and farofa. During the event, Lula expressed his gratitude for the work and dedication of the ministers throughout 2024. However, he also indicated that there will be changes in the composition of the government next year.
