247 – Federal deputy Paulo Maluf (PP-SP) knows how to attract media attention. After the controversial photo that marked Maluf's alliance with former president Lula for Fernando Haddad's campaign in São Paulo, he was photographed kissing President Dilma Rousseff's hand in Brasília. The meeting took place during the launch event of the Plano Safra (agricultural plan) this Wednesday.

Sixteen days ago, Maluf insisted on appearing alongside Lula in his garden when declaring his support for the Workers' Party candidate. The official photo of the meeting caused a stir in political circles due to the historical and ideological differences between the parties. Luiza Erundina even abandoned Haddad's ticket – but returned to support him after the initial shock.
