Flávio's channel falsely associates cocaine with a pro-Lula act and uses the PT member's speeches without context

Flávio Bolsonaro's (PL) campaign created the 'Flávio Troop' channel on WhatsApp to spread disinformation against President Lula (PT), including out-of-context videos and audios from allies such as Nikolas Ferreira and Gustavo Gayer, following the growth of the PT channel 'Lula's Army'. The content was questioned by Folha and part of it was deleted, but the campaign denies that it spreads fake news.

The action took place weeks before the midterm elections and generated accusations of abuse of power by Democrats, who see the operation as political persecution of Trump.

Lula's campaign did not authorize a drone overflight to count the public in Paulista, say entities

Monitor do Debate Político no Meio Digital and More in Common Brasil state that Lula's campaign denied authorization for a drone flight over the demonstration on Avenida Paulista, preventing the audience from being counted. The entities say that it was the third time during the campaign that they were unable to carry out a survey at events linked to the PT member, despite having carried out counts at events involving other candidates. They question the inconsistency, as aerial images of the demonstration were published by press vehicles and profiles aligned with the campaign. The GSI, responsible for the president's security, restricts the use of drones in events with authorities, but the organizations claim that they follow protocols and only carry out counts with authorization. They renewed the request for future demonstrations until the second round, on October 25th.
