no idea, but supposedly they are part of a sympathetic party/group to lula and haven’t complained or spoken out about it. that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s all good but I like to assume kind/warm gestures are what they seem to be (kind/warm gestures).
I worked with a senior manager that was from somewhere in Europe. He was super hands on with men or women, not in a creepy office harassment way, just in a “in my culture we touch people, and I’m oblivious to western office norms” way.
I’d be showing him something on my screen and he’d be over my shoulder, with a hand on it. And then if I scrolled past something accidentally he’d get passionate about missing it, and just reach out over top of my hand to move the mouse…so both of us had our hand on the mouse LOL. He was completly oblivious to personal space.

Also, most of South American cultures are kind of touchy, so there are less situations where this could have been considered “too much”
Can confirm, am south american and we are warm social creatures that value human interaction, both physical and verbal.
