The Planalto Palace will publicly publicize the first lady’s agenda, on the government’s website from this Friday, 25.
The measure, says the Planalto, aims to meet a normative guidance prepared this month by the Attorney General of the Union (AGU), which states the need for publicity in the public interest of the President of the Republic’s spouse.
The ODA Opinion, made at the request of the Lula Civil House after criticism of Janja spending, aims to guide the performance of the presidential spouse – which officially has no position in the federal structure.
The AGU recognizes that the spouses are entitled to “public interest” acting and says that its function must be voluntary and unpaid. And that there must be the provision of travel accounts and use of public resources related to the spouse and their team.
The opinion recommends the disclosure of the public commitment agenda on an official website, as well as the expenses and trips through the Transparency Portal.
“The president’s spouse, in his performance of public interest, presents his own legal nature that stems from the civil bond maintained with the head of state and government. Thus, the spouse plays a symbolic representative role of social, cultural, ceremonial, political and/or diplomatic in the name of the president,” says AGU.

Janja’s presence at international events became critical. THE Estadão It showed, for example, that the government disbursed R $ 203,600 to fund the stay of the Janja entourage in Paris. The first lady, which does not hold official position in the federal government, was representative of Brazil at events such as the Paris Olympics and the G-20 summit.
Earlier this year, Janja was also in Rome, Italy, to attend the event by the International Agrarian Development Fund (FIDA), as a collaborator of the Ministry of Social Development (MDS). The airfare and return airlines of the first lady, which flew from Brasilia executive class to the Italian capital, cost the taxpayer R $ 34.1 thousand.
