Candidate for President for PL, Flávio Bolsonaro attacked the PT during a live broadcast on Thursday night (8) by attributing deep fake videos of his face to the party. In the images, modified from the statement that Flávio made after the 1st round, he says that he would analyze cuts to be made in elderly pensions, in the Pé de Meia student program and in Bolsa Família.

On live, the senator showed the two videos and asked his supporters to share the information that it was fake news. He called it "gross manipulation" and "desperation" by the PT.

"So, the vast majority understand that it is a lie, that it is fake news, a manipulated video, and there are many unsuspecting people who think that these atrocities that the PT put in my mouth are true, but they are not", said Flávio.

According to him, the campaign has already mapped the dissemination of the images and promises to take the authors and disseminators to court. “Everyone is here, we are involved in the process,” he said.

The statement came when Flávio Bolsonaro was talking about the WhatsApp community created by deputy André Janones (Rede-MG) with supporters to carry out Lula's virtual campaign in the 2nd round.

"You see the great digital faction that the PT created to invent a lot of fake news, spread this fake news around. It's one after the other", he stated, when asking for support for his community on WhatsApp.

Support from Augusto Cury

During the live, Flávio Bolsonaro thanked the support announced by former presidential candidate Augusto Cury (Avante), which took place on Thursday night. The support came after Cury said that he would not support either Flávio or Lula (PT) in the 2nd round dispute.

According to the senator, the opponent sent a letter with eight points to be followed as a prerequisite for the declaration of support.

"So, Augusto Cury, thank you for your support and, from the bottom of my heart, congratulations on the person you are. Because the way you talk about your support, we realize that it's from the heart, it's for ideals, it's for purposes", he said.

"It's not a blank letter, because I'm going to write this book, these new pages of Brazil, together with each one of you, together with Augusto Cury, with everyone who will participate in rescuing Brazil together with me."
