Em um vídeo que circula nas redes sociais, um homem comenta uma notícia sobre o fato de o Partido Liberal (PL) ter manifestado a intenção de concorrer à presidência da Câmara dos Deputados e conclui que Jair Bolsonaro não está inelegível e que vai mandar no Brasil caso o partido dele vença a eleição interna da Casa. Uma legenda acrescentada sobre as imagens afirma que “Bolsonaro pode assumir a presidência”.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says the video’s claims that Bolsonaro was no longer ineligible and would control Brazil if the PL won the Câmara leadership election were false. It explains that the Câmara president’s role is powerful but limited by the other branches of government, and that TSE decisions in June and October 2023 barred Bolsonaro from running for eight years, counted from the previous year’s election.
