Brazilian political disinformation and mobilization
Overview
Disinformation and manipulated media have become central themes in Brazilian political discourse. Brazilian presenter Xuxa Meneghel denounced the use of deepfakes and manipulated footage that falsely depicted her criticizing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Meneghel clarified that the viral videos were decontextualized clips from 2022, stating, ‘Who believed that I could be talking about our current president does not even know me.’
Simultaneously, political figures have engaged in direct calls for mobilization to combat opposing narratives. Federal Deputy Júlia Zanatta urged supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro to counter what she described as lies spread by the ‘Lula Army,’ specifically regarding claims that Bolsonaro intended to revoke rights for women or the elderly. This mobilization occurs alongside investigations into potential financial links between Flávio Bolsonaro and lawyer Willer Tomaz, though both parties deny any connection.
