Pablo Marçal and José Luiz Datena have reached a legal agreement to settle their disputes arising from an altercation during a 2024 electoral debate.
José Luiz Datena, a television presenter, and businessman Pablo Marçal reached an agreement in a São Paulo court to resolve legal disputes stemming from a controversial incident during an electoral debate in September 2024. The altercation, known among some as the 'cadeirada' incident, involved a physical confrontation between the two that sparked significant media attention and legal repercussions. The agreement was formally approved by Judge Priscilla Bittar Neves Netto in the 30th Civil Court of São Paulo, effectively ending all ongoing lawsuits related to their rivalry over the mayoral campaign in São Paulo, which was ultimately won by Ricardo Nunes from the MDB party, who secured re-election.
