Supla family ‘preach socialism and enjoy capitalism’? He answers

Notorious for having adhered to punk as a lifestyle, Supplement He is the son of two well-known politicians: Edward It is Marta Suplicyboth linked to the Workers’ Party (PT). Edward has been affiliated since 1980, while Marta was linked between 1981 and 2015.

Like his parents, the singer has an affinity for ideas linked to the spectrum of the political left. In addition to exposing his thoughts on the networks, he even released a song, in 2021, with criticism of the now ex-president Jair Bolsonaro. Entitled “Get Out Bolsonaro”, the track was recorded with the project Brothers of Brazilnext to his brother, João Suplicy.

Naturally, Supplement is questioned by internet users for exposing his political ideas. On one occasion, on social networks, he responded to a follower who questioned him about an alleged contradiction between “his wealthy family preaching socialism and living the best of capitalism”. Initially, he stated:

“Champs, that is not the point. It’s not because I came from a family that could give me good schools, a good education, that I can’t feel the pain of the other, have empathy for the other, you know?”

Supla and the desire for a fairer country

Still in his statement, Supplement he said he only wanted Brazil to be a fairer country.

“People just want to stand on their own two feet. What’s the point of being good for you and millions of other people not being cool? I just want a fairer country, where people can have good conditions – like I didn’t have. What’s the problem?”

“I feel like Brazil is a little left out”

In 2022, before Jair Bolsonaro having been defeated in the elections for Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Supplement made a series of criticisms against the now ex-president during an interview with the website The Fox. In his view, the PL politician was not ready to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, a disease that killed more than 690,000 Brazilians.

“Unfortunately, what we are living is a very sad thing. Brazilian against Brazilian, I feel Brazil is a little left out. I think the incoming president had an opportunity, especially in the pandemic, which is when you can show that you’re there, that you’re strong, and not that you’re thinking it’s a little flu, but that it’s a serious thing.”

The artist also revealed that he had several opportunities to enter politics, due to his family and his popularity in music. Invitations always arrive during election periods, but he never accepts.

“I already do my politics the way I do. Maybe today it would be important, but I want to respond the way I do my politics, through music. I respond through music. So much so that I made the song ‘They want me to be a politician’, which was more to give a response, but I find it fascinating, because politics affects people’s minds. Once I was talking to my father about this and he told me: ‘what you already inspire from people, sending your messages, the things you think about in your songs, you are already helping a lot’.”
