Allegations that a Federal Police agent assigned to the first lady struck a deputy raise questions about security oversight because the force has not publicly responded.

Overview

  • The PT says deputy Divaneide Basílio was struck on Thursday, June 25, 2026, when a door was closed abruptly during a push to leave the Ato das Mulheres in Natal and that no serious injuries occurred.
  • Party statements identify the accused as a Federal Police agent who was external to the event's organization and say first lady Rosângela “Janja” Lula da Silva repudiated the act and removed the agent from later commitments.
  • Local PT directories described the incident as an expression of machismo, said the matter was clarified among those involved and announced plans to strengthen care and organizational protocols for public events.
  • The minister of Women, Márcia Lopes, and Rio Grande do Norte governor Fátima Bezerra attended the event and provided on-site support to the deputy, according to party notes.
  • The Polícia Federal had not issued a public response by the latest reports, leaving formal institutional accountability and any investigation status unresolved and likely to shape next steps for event security.
