「高市早苗じゃないと日本は終わります」と石丸伸二氏が発言？

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the statement was made by Hiromichi Toba, founder of Doutor Coffee and a supporter of Ishimaru, not by Ishimaru himself. The cited interview reported Toba saying that, in his view, “there is no one but Takaichi” among politicians who would contribute to Japan; it did not report Ishimaru making the claim.

Lula teria admitido ser comunista

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review finds that Lula did not admit to being a communist; the viral post used a montage of two videos from different occasions in 2023. In one, he discussed the PT’s relationship with China’s Communist Party; in the other, he said that being called a communist was a source of pride, while contrasting it with being called a Nazi, neofascist, or terrorist.

"A democracia deve cair porque tentará se adaptar a todos:. . "Os pobres vão querer a riqueza dos ricos, e a democracia a dará a eles.  “Os jovens vão querer ser respeitados como idosos, e a democracia vai dar-lhes isso. “As mulheres vão querer ser como os homens, e a democracia vai dar-lhes isso.  “Os estrangeiros vão querer os direitos dos nativos e a democracia irá dar-lhes isso. “Os ladrões e fraudadores vão querer funções governamentais importantes, e a democracia vai dar-lhes isso.  .  “E naquela época, quando ladrões e fraudadores finalmente e democraticamente assumirem a autoridade; porque os criminosos e malfeitores querem o poder, haverá uma ditadura pior do que na época de qualquer monarquia ou oligarquia.” *Sócrates (470-399 a.C.)

Bolsa Família priorizaria pessoas acima dos 40 anos para conceder benefício

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says a TikTok video claimed that people aged 40 or older would receive priority for Bolsa Família, but the government had made no such announcement. The Ministry of Development and Social Assistance said age is not a criterion for priority; eligibility depends on household income and CadÚnico registration, and priority groups include Indigenous and Quilombola families and families with specified circumstances.

نشرت حسابات وصفحات على منصتي إكس وفيس بوك مقطع للرئيس اليمني السابق عبد ربه منصور هادي مدعية أنه بمناسبة العيد الـ 62 لثورة 26 سبتمبر، لكن....

Publisher’s rating: خاطئ

The review identifies the footage as Hadi’s address for the revolution’s 55th anniversary in September 2017, not a recent address for its 62nd anniversary. It says Hadi had not appeared publicly since relinquishing power in April 2022. [S1]

"Eu digo isso porque ficou demonstrada a falta de articulação quando você [Maria do Rosário] apresenta um projeto que traz a isenção de impostos para a linha branca, e você, enfim, articula, consegue fazer aprovar na Câmara Federal, mas quando chega para este caminho que você conhece tão bem, aprovar o seu projeto, sancionar o seu projeto, você não consegue, você acabou tendo um veto do próprio presidente que é do seu partido"
