Publications on social networks ensure that Lurian Lula da Silva was hired as a press officer in the Senate. Lula’s daughter will receive a monthly salary equivalent to 10,000 euros. It’s false.
“Can this be considered nepotism?”, read at the beginning of the exchange that Lurian Lula da Silva, the daughter of the Brazilian president, is “the new press secretary of the Senate.” The post also adds more details about the contract: Lurian will receive 37,000 reais, a daily allowance of 20,000, which makes a sum of 57,000 reais, equivalent to 10,000 euros per month. “In addition to available car and driver,” concludes the author of the publication. It’s false.
Lurian Lula da Silva currently works in the Brazilian Senate. The president’s daughter has been acting since 2019 as an adviser in the office of Rogério Carvalho, one of the senators of the Workers’ Party (PT).
Through a search on the official Brazilian government website, it is possible to find the union’s official statement mentioning the hiring of Lurian Lula da Silva. In the entry of December 10, 2019, it can be verified that the President’s daughter was hired as an “intermediate parliamentary assistant”.
Through the transparency portal of the Senate it is possible to consult the monthly remuneration of Lurian Lula da Silva. In December 2022, the president’s daughter received 10,104.37 net reais — removing the Christmas allowance. The amount indicated corresponds to 1,812 eurosas of the date of this publication.
The complaints and the sharing on social networks about the salary of Lurian Lula da Silva already arose when he was appointed to the Senate in 2019. And, also at that time, the information was denied.
