A fan of the team, the President of the Republic donated R$1,013 to the Gaviões da Fiel fundraising campaign to pay off the debt for the Neo Química Arena stadium
The President of the Republic Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva donated R$ 1,013 to the Gaviões da Fiel fundraising campaign, which seeks to pay off the debt owed to Caixa Econômica Federal relating to Neo Química Arena. The initiative’s goal is to raise R$700 million, and so far, fans have already managed to raise R$34.9 million, which is equivalent to 4.98% of the total amount needed.
In a video posted on social media, who is an avowed Corinthians fan, commented on the donation and took the opportunity to deny that Pix will be taxed by the federal government. He guaranteed that the federal government does not intend to tax transactions carried out through this payment system. While Lula spoke, First Lady Janja performs the operation and shows the computer and cell phone screen, with proof of the donation.
“Today, I made a PIX to help Corinthians pay its debt and I took advantage of the moment to deny the fake news that is circulating on social media. Share the truth. The government will not tax transactions via PIX. Don’t fall for scams and only make donations through official websites,” said the president. The Gaviões da Fiel campaign has mobilized the club’s fans and supporters in search of resources to pay off the debt.
