VEJA reported that debates about the permanence of Our Lady Aparecida as the patroness of Brazil diverted attention from issues like public debt and security during the campaign. The magazine attributed to Globo the spread of what it classified as the biggest fake news of the dispute: the rumor that Flávio Bolsonaro would support a project to strip the saint of her title. According to the publication, the candidate and his campaign denied the information. VEJA said the topic gained traction after journalist Maria Cristina Fernandes addressed it on GloboNews. The network later clarified that the proposal had been presented in 2007 and archived the following year, and apologized to viewers. The magazine added that left-wing politicians continued to discuss the matter even after the denial. #eleições2026 #Brasil #fakeNews #eleições (translated)

VEJA reported that it had access to accounts from banker Daniel Vorcaro in which he claimed to have negotiated with the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, payments to gain access to pension funds for federal employees. Among the amounts mentioned would be a transfer of R$ 30 million in cash to the Lula Institute, in addition to other undisclosed amounts. According to Vorcaro, the approach to the PT was orchestrated by Augusto Lima, then partner and CEO of Banco Master, with the mediation of Jaques Wagner, then leader of the Lula government in the Senate. The magazine stated that the information was included in an attachment submitted to the Attorney General's Office last June, when the second plea bargain proposal from the banker was discarded. According to the accounts attributed to Vorcaro, the funds would be allocated to expenses for a documentary about Lula filmed abroad. The mentioned film was *Lula*, directed by Oliver Stone and composed of testimonies from friends and allies of the president. #DanielVorcaro #BancoMaster #Brasil #Brasil #corrupção #Lula (translated)

The magazine VEJA claimed to have accessed reports in which banker Daniel Vorcaro said he negotiated with the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, payments to gain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to Vorcaro, R$ 30 million in cash would have been paid to the Instituto Lula, managed by Paulo Okamoto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institution. VEJA reported that Vorcaro provided the details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case due to a lack of evidence, as the payments were allegedly made in cash. The banker’s defense, in turn, stated that there would be WhatsApp messages, records of who withdrew the money, and information about the locations and routes of the deliveries. #DanielVorcaro #BancoMaster #Brasil #Corrupção #Lula #PolíticaBrasil (translated)
