On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sanctioned women's protection bills at the Planalto Palace and invited Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes for coffee.
The brief exchange was captured by microphones at the end of the ceremony. Lula asked: “Vamos tomar um café?” Moraes nodded and indicated the talk would take place at the Planalto itself.
At the same event, the president sanctioned the Pix pensão law, which automates alimony payments, and a bill on publicizing the Ligue 180 hotline. He also signed decrees on the Mulher Segura system and electronic monitoring of aggressors.
Lula stated that the rise in feminicides reflects more reports and noted Moraes’s presence. The presidents of the Chamber and Senate did not attend.
