Luiz Lindbergh Farias Filho, commonly known only as Lindbergh Farias (born 8 December 1969), is a Brazilian former student union leader and politician.[1]
Lindberg became famous as student leader, specially in 1992, when he was president of the National Union of Students (UNE) and one of the main leaders of the student movement Caras-Pintadas (Painted Faces) against the then president Fernando Collor de Mello, who was his ally before Lindberg's political career.[2][3][4] Farias attended Medicine and Law colleges, but never got a degree.[5]
After leaving the student movement, he was elect Federal Deputy for two legislatures. He was also elect and re-elect Mayor of Nova Iguaçu, in Baixada Fluminense. In 2010, Lindbergh was elect Senator for Rio de Janeiro.
In 2014, he ran for Governor of Rio de Janeiro for the Workers' Party (PT),[6] when he placed 4th, with 10% of the valid votes.[7]
