247 - First Lady Bia Doria's remarks about the homeless population left several sectors of São Paulo's civil society perplexed, to the point that her departure from the management of the São Paulo Social Fund was being considered by people connected to the government. 

A report from the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper. Remember that “the statements were given in an interview with socialite Val Marchiori, who became famous after participating in the reality show Mulheres Ricas. The interview was recorded at Palácio dos Bandeirantes and published on Marchiori’s social networks this Thursday (2), attracting reactions.”

The article also highlights that "in the conversation, the wife of Governor João Doria (PSDB) says that one should not give food to the homeless because they need to know that they have to leave the street, a place that, according to her, is comfortable: 'It's not right to go there on the street and give them food, because the person has to realize that they have to leave the street. The street today is an attraction, people like to stay on the street.'"
