The American singer Lady Gaga reacted this Sunday, May 4 on the social network X after a bomb attack was frustrated during her concert in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
“Your heart shines so much, your culture is so vibrant and so special that I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you,” wrote the superstar.
“The police acted in silence”
“We discovered the existence of this threat in the press this morning,” Lady Gaga’s spokesmen said in the varieties. “There was no security problem before the concert, or even during.”
“The police and authorities did not contact us to warn us if Lady Gaga’s security was committed. His entourage worked with the police to organize the concert and everyone had confidence in security measures.”
“The police acted in silence and without creating panic (…) we act surgically so that the crime does not take place,” said Felipe Curi, a civil police officer in Rio, cited in a note from the institution.
Improvised explosives
Two people, suspected of being involved in this bomb attack, were arrested. The “group leader” and the “Planning Manager” was arrested in the state of the Río Grande do Sul (South), while illegally carried a firearm.
The attack attempt was orchestrated by a group that “transmitted hate speeches” and promoted the radicalization of adolescents and car -control on digital platforms, police said.
The attackers designed this plan as a “collective challenge” to gain notoriety in social networks, police said. This project addressed children, adolescents and the LGBTQ+community.
“The people involved have recruited participants to promote attacks with improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails,” the police still have.
Two million people
About two million people had invaded Copacabana Beach this Saturday, May 3 until the early hours to listen to Lady Gaga, under the supervision of an impressive security deployment.
The municipal authorities, who also expect economic benefits of more than $ 100 million, wish to perpetuate this tradition of mega free concert in May, to stimulate tourism during the low season.
Lady Gaga, which had not happened in Brazil since a tour in 2012, interpreted remarkably during the concert in front of a delusional crowd her successes Bloody Mary AND Abracadabraone of the emblematic titles of his latest album, Violence.
