Giant Robot Honors Brazil's President at Carnival
A giant metal robot featured Brazil's President Lula. It appeared at Rio de Janeiro Carnival on Sunday night.
The samba school Academicos de Niteroi led the parade with this tribute. The robot showed Lula's life from poverty to becoming president.
It traced his work as a metalworker and union leader too. The tribute drew criticism for honoring a sitting president.
This happened during an election year. The opposition slammed the parade tribute to Lula.
Klear Note — Rio Carnival is Brazil's biggest annual celebration with huge parades. Honoring sitting presidents at Carnival is controversial during election years.
