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)
