Overview
Cadeirada Do Datena, also known as Pablo Marçal Cadeirada or Brazilian "Cadeirada" Incident, refers to a controversy in which Brazilian politician Datena hit his adversary Pablo Marçal with a chair during the 2024 São Paulo city Mayor debate in mid-September 2024. The incident became widely shared on the internet as the "cadeirada" incident, which sparked many memes, photoshops, parodies and jokes, with some treating the chair as a "hero" for knocking out the conservative candidate.
Background
On September 15th, 2024, during the debate with the candidates for Mayor of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, José Luiz Datena attacked his adversary Pablo Marçal with a chair after Marçal called him a "coward" for not being man enough to slap him in the face. The incident was broadcast live by TV Cultura, who had to temporarily interrupt the debate.
Several netizens shared clips of the aggression that day as the viral video spread, including the X / Twitter meme page @AssLatam,[1] which amassed more than 173,000 views and 3,900 likes in a day.
