Original review summary

The review says the post misleadingly presents the number of Brazilians living abroad as evidence of a recent exodus caused by the federal government. It reports that the migration is not recent and that its peak was in 2012–2013.[S1]

Additional context

The review cites Foreign Ministry estimates that 4.5 million Brazilians lived abroad in 2022 and says the period of greatest emigration was 2012–2013. [S1]
