“They tried to get the shine out of our lips.” With this and other puns, the former first lady () summoned women to appear, along with their lipsticks, the act by amnesty to the defendants of January 8 scheduled for this Sunday (6), in São Paulo.
Michelle’s call was published on social networks on Tuesday (1st).
In a video, wearing t-shirts with the phrase “Amnesty Already” (in an aesthetics that mimics the paint of a lipstick), Michelle, federal deputy Caroline de Toni (PL-SC), Senator (-DF) and Elizete Malafaia-wife of Pastor Silas Malafaia-classify as “unfair” the arrest of convicts for attempted coup d’état Lipstick the statue “The Justice”, in case it has been explored by pockets.
Deborah became a defendant, accused by the Attorney General’s Office of Crimes of Armed Criminal Association, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, attempted coup and damage qualified by violence and serious threat against the heritage of the Union.
She left jail and moved to house arrest last Friday (28).
Specialists heard by Sheet They consider that the amnesty campaign has focused on the female audience.
Branding and semiotic expert denies Gurgel states that lipstick is traditionally associated with female struggles, mostly in the progressive field, as an element that has been linked to postures considered immoral. However, the right resignifies it at this time.
It is not uncommon for political movements to incorporate symbols. They serve to build a group identity. Throughout history, several examples can be cited. In the last decade, right -wing protesters have wearing t -shirts with the colors of the Brazilian flag – verde and yellow – to protest.

“What is widely publicized is that she wrote in a statue with a lipstick and paid hard for it. It makes all the meaning that it becomes the greatest symbol of this movement,” he says.
The campaign, says, seeks to say that “the people who were in Brasilia that day are mothers, ladies, wives, teachers.”
Moraes tried to contest this narrative on the 26th, which showed violent acts of January 8 at the trial that made Bolsonaro defendant on charges of leading coup plot in 2022.
“People in good faith end up being deceived by people of bad faith who, with bad intentions and digital militias, end up saying they were old ladies with the Bible in hand, with lipstick and went there only a lipstick on the statue,” he said.

Julia also says that there are advantages to bet on the presence of women in the demonstration of São Paulo, after the low adhesion in the act in March. “They seek an alternative capable of massifying mobilizations, calling the strength of the Brazilian, warrior, struggling woman.”
“This has been an important strategy on the far right. Now they bet they will be able to lead this process asking for the freedom of their children, husbands, siblings and, in short, can still expand dialogue with this group – something that represents an electoral barrier to pockets,” says the expert.
This week, there was irony with the new symbol of the pockets.
At an event at PUC-SP on Monday (31), lawyer Marco Aurélio de Carvalho, coordinator of the prerogative group, which brings together lawyers aligned with the Lula government, spoke about the female prison population and said: “What was missing for each of the girls who follow their children, deprived of minimum dignity in the medieval penitentiary system that is that of our country?
