Lula não deixa prender Putin no Brasil

Publisher’s rating: CONTEXTUALIZANDO

The review says that deciding whether to arrest Putin would not be Lula’s responsibility: “não é competência dele decidir pela prisão”, with the decision belonging to the courts. It explains that an arrest could involve the judiciary or Federal Police and would depend on legal, diplomatic, and practical factors.

Sir Keir Starmer has said the UK will “boycott diplomatic relations with Israel” over the conflict in Gaza.

Publisher’s rating: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has repeatedly pledged the UK’s support to Israel, most recently in statements marking the first anniversary of the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023. He has called for a ceasefire and made several commitments to peace in the Middle East, but has never voiced support for severing diplomatic ties with Israel or its government.

Lula assumiu o comunismo

Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO

The review says the viral post combined two videos from 2023 and took Lula’s remarks out of context. In one, he said his party had a “strong relationship” with the Chinese Communist Party; in the other, he said being called a communist was a source of pride for left-wing politicians, not that he himself was communist.
