BRASILIA - As Brazil’s new government held its first meeting on Friday, the new first lady got down to business too, dealing with what she called major damage, leaks, and missing artwork and furniture at the presidential palace.
Mrs da Silva, who married newly inaugurated leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in May, said important parts of the iconic modernist building were left in “deteriorated” condition. An unknown amount of furniture and artwork from the official residence was missing, damaged or – in the case of one 19th-century work – left on the floor, she said.
Mrs da Silva, 56, said the first couple would carry out renovations to repair the damage and a full inventory of the residence’s furniture and art before moving in.“We’re thinking of adding the things that are inside it , too, so this doesn’t happen again, where a president comes and takes historic items that belong to the Brazilian state.”Mr Lula, 77, knows the palace well, having lived there during his first presidency with his late wife, Marisa Leticia.
