Overview
- Lindbergh Farias filed a formal representation on Tuesday with the AGU’s National Defense of Democracy office over a post by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
- He says the video misrepresents a Lula speech through selective editing that falsely claims “the poor were not born to study.”
- The petition alleges structured disinformation, abuse of free expression, and early negative electoral propaganda.
- It asks the PNDD to investigate, urges the TSE to monitor such content in the pre‑election period, and seeks STF evaluation for possible inclusion in the fake‑news inquiry.
- The document notes that deletion would not halt the clip’s effects as replicas persist online, and Bolsonaro’s office has not responded as authorities weigh next steps.
