On social media, this Monday 26, he published a video celebrating the opportunity. “How can you stand that surreal energy of Itamaraty? It even reminds me of the time when I wanted to be a diplomat,” said the chef de cuisine. The post coincides with the date of a lunch Lula had with the president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández. It was the fifth meeting between the two in six months.

The president’s statements on Itamaraty’s food were made during his weekly live broadcast, this morning of Tuesday 27. Jokingly, Lula told the journalist Marcos Uchoawho leads the meetings, that the food served at institutional events has small portions: “I like quantity”.

“I can travel all over the world. I can eat all over the world. If I come home and have some rice and beans, a steak and two fried eggs, to me it’s the best dish in the world,” Lula said.

At another point in the broadcast, always jokingly, he said he asked for improvements in the food. “I fought with Itamaraty to improve the food. The food is not good.”

As shown the StadiumR$ 4.4 million was spent on banquets for official events in the first six months of the year. This money came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The company responsible for these meals, Open House and Crystal Palace, he said, through his partner, that at the beginning of management these adjustments “are normal”. Wanted, Elisa was not found.
