This Wednesday (26) was marked by a series of attempts - all refuted - by Jair Bolsonaro's campaign to create political facts to raise suspicions about the fairness of the electoral process. Bolsonarists launched attacks on the electoral justice system and spread conspiracy theories involving the Superior Electoral Court to ask for the second round of elections to be postponed. The TSE, radio stations, and the press spent the day denying fake news. O Curto News explains!
The first distorted news used by Bolsonarists on social media was the dismissal of a TSE employee. Alexandre Gomes Machado went to the Federal Police and said he was fired for “warning about failures in monitoring” campaign insertions on Brazilian radio stations. (Folha de S.Paulo) 🚥 Quickly, TSE ministers clarified two points:
Supporters of Jair Bolsonaro – who has history of questionair the electoral system – used the case to ask for the election to be postponed.
The president of the TSE, Alexandre de Moraes, rejected the request made by Jair Bolsonaro's government to suspend the broadcast of insertions by former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on the grounds that radio stations stopped broadcasting at least 730 commercials from his campaign.
In addition to ordering the case to be archived due to “ineptitude”, Moraes ordered the referral to the general electoral inspector, Augusto Aures, to analyze whether there was “commitment of an electoral crime with the purpose of disrupting the second round”.
For Moraes, the data presented by the campaign on alleged irregularities are inconsistent. Still, in the same decision, Moraes:
To reinforce that the allegations have no basis, Brazilian radio stations stated that they did not receive advertisements for election hours from the Bolsonaro campaign.
Second GLOBO report, of the 8 radio stations accused by the defense of Jair Bolsonaro's (PL) campaign of having broadcast more advertisements for the PT candidate, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 4 of them stated that they had not received inserts produced by the president's team and, therefore, did not publicize the material. The other broadcasters were contacted for the report, but have not yet commented. 🚥
On UOL, one of the radio stations stated that the PL itself stopped sending electoral pieces to be broadcast:
Earlier, rMetropoles eportage showed that the company – hired by President Jair Bolsonaro – to identify alleged fraud on radio stations in the Northeast received half a million from Jair Bolsonaro's campaign. 🚥
Soundview Tecnologia, mentioned by former Communications Secretary and Bolsonaro advisor Fabio Wajngarten, received precisely R$501 from the Bolsonaro committee on August 26, ten days after the official start of the electoral race.
