In the context of the presidential elections in Brazil, which are approaching, a publication circulates on social networks that assures that one of the main candidates, Lula da Silva, presents as a measure to implement, if he wins, the idea of ​​creating the “Ministry of the Truth” and “control the expenses of the Brazilian population”. Users of social networks assure that these ideas are part of the electoral program of the PT candidate, but it’s fake

It is an image that lists nine measures allegedly taken from Lula da Silva’s electoral program. But, of the proposals listed, only one actually appears in the electoral program (the third, “end of the spending ceiling”).

Lula da Silva’s government plan is available here. When consulting it, the Observer did not find any of the measures listed in the publication (with the exception already mentioned).

For the Brazilian fact-checking site Aos Fatos, Lula da Silva’s advice guarantees that the publication is false.

Other Brazilian media, such as Folha de S. Paulo, have ostensibly analyzed Lula da Silva’s government plan and do not highlight any of the proposals on the list in question. Once again, only the “spending ceiling repeal” is referred to on the economy side.

Among them, it is suggested that the PT candidate intends to create “the Ministry of Truth” and “control the expenses of the Brazilian population.” But none of these measures is part of the current electoral program of the former president.
