Em vídeo, homem alega ser “petista” e diz estar usufruindo de dinheiro proveniente de corrupção. Ele aparece na beira de uma piscina, com bebidas alcoólicas à sua frente. O vídeo é encontrado nas redes sociais repostado com a legenda “O nome dele é João Pedro Stedile. Líder Nacional do MST, olha ele bêbado o que fala…”

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The man in the video is Valdecir Hanauer, an entrepreneur and former congressional candidate, not MST leader João Pedro Stedile. The original video was posted to Hanauer’s TikTok profile on March 16, 2024, and Hanauer said it was satire.

Robert Habeck ist der Ansicht, dass der Staat keine Fehler macht.

Publisher’s rating: Habeck erklärte den Anspruch des Staates und seiner Verwaltung, keine Fehler machen zu wollen. Wie ein längerer Redeausschnitt zeigt, sagte Habeck sinngemäß, dass aus diesem Anspruch aber außer Sicherheit auch ein hoher bürokratischer Aufwand entstehe. Dieser ist aus seiner Sicht nur durch eine andere Fehlerkultur in der gesamten Gesellschaft abzubauen.

All Scheduled Caste, Tribe and Backward Class people should watch this video of Modi, their eyes will be opened. Modi is saying that by keeping people from these classes in government jobs, the standard of government work will fall!

Publisher’s rating: False. PM Modi did not make any statement opposed to the caste-based reservation system. In a response to allegations levelled against him by opposition in Rajya Sabha, PM Modi quoted views of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on reservations. The video has been edited to show PM Modi speaking against caste-based reservation.

Miguel Díaz-Canel

Publisher’s rating: La afirmación es FALSA. En Cuba sí ocurren feminicidios, que son los asesinatos de mujeres por razones de género. Y, de acuerdo con organizaciones feministas de la sociedad civil, el Gobierno cubano es cómplice de estas muertes, porque no ha proporcionado espacios seguros o estrategias efectivas para mujeres en peligro.
