“There will be no possession! There will be no government of the thief”. These are the statements attributed to the (still) Brazilian First Lady, Michelle Bolsonaro, which have been replicated on social networks over the last month, regarding the inauguration of Lula da Silva as the new president of Brazil, on January 1 of 2023.

The alleged claims made on Twitter were praised by several followers on social media, with one user praising Michelle saying that “the message is given.”

the shared post actually existsbut it does not correspond to a profile belonging to the wife of Jair Bolsonaro.

First, the account name itself does not correctly spell the first lady’s name, identified as “Michele Bolsonaro” and not “Michelle Bolsonaro.” Added to this is the fact that Michelle has already confirmed that she does not have a Twitter account and that she only speaks on social media through a verified Instagram account. In addition, the aforementioned Twitter account clearly identifies in the description that it is a profile “in honor of the most beautiful first lady Brazil has ever had.”

Conclution

Although the shared publication is real, the profile that made the statements about the assumption of Lula da Silva does not belong to Michelle Bolsonaro. It is more of a support account for the first lady —confirmed in the profile itself—, which has no official presence on Twitter.
