In light of the recent breaking of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva's (Lulinha's) sigils by the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court and the CPI of the INSS, allies of the president’s son have taken to publicly defending the government. They assert that their stance shows a clear difference from the previous administration, under Jair Bolsonaro, highlighting the current president's willingness for transparency in investigations. This is reflected in the statement from one of Lulinha's close associates indicating, "Importantly, President Lula allows the Federal Police to investigate."

This defense has emerged amidst allegations against Lulinha, where government politicians are using these incidents to highlight a supposed commitment to legality and openness. A deputy from the PT pointedly responded to questions regarding Lulinha’s conduct by recalling controversies from Bolsonaro’s presidency, particularly highlighting actions where Bolsonaro allegedly changed Federal Police officers to protect his family. This narrative serves to distance the current administration from past actions that have provoked public distrust.

The political backing for Lulinha seems to be constructed as a dual strategy: bolster public perception while addressing legal inquiries. By framing Lula's encouragement of investigations as a positive attribute, his allies aim to mitigate criticisms and reinforce the legitimacy of the current government in the eyes of the electorate and within political circles.
