Rio de Janeiro’s Sambadrome delivered a made-for-television political optic Sunday night: a Rio Carnival parade that celebrated President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, briefly placing him in the safest possible frame—national culture, mass joy, and collective pride.

But the same dispatch that captures the applause also flags the shadow in the spotlight: renewed legal risk. The result is a split-screen presidency—uplifted by spectacle, threatened by procedure—where what Brazil remembers from this week may change fast.
