David Ágape stated that he identified the advertisement among 1,428 electoral propaganda pieces against Flávio Bolsonaro. According to him, the page Mosaico Vivo published the piece between September 10 and 18, with an estimated expenditure of between $7,000 and $8,000 — about R$36,000 to R$42,000 — and an estimated reach by Meta of 6.5 million accounts in Brazil. The page had eight followers in the record preserved by Ágape's team, and Meta removed the advertisement for violating political advertising rules. The author identified the man in the video as Don Ernesto, a singer and presenter for TVT, a station maintained by the Metal Workers Union of ABC and the Union of Bank and Financial Workers of São Paulo, Osasco, and the region. In the video, Don Ernesto criticized Flávio and called him "the worst of the Bolsonaros." Ágape emphasized that his image's presence did not indicate that he or the station participated in the purchase of the advertisement. According to the transparency fields from Meta cited by Ágape, Corporativo Lam, LLC was listed as the declared advertiser and payer. He stated that the same company had shown, through its verified account on Google in Venezuela, campaigns of government bodies of Nicolás Maduro before promoting Brazilian sites that attacked Flávio. Ágape said that the person responsible for the initiative against the senator was still unknown. https://t.co/BAPcGa6q2g #Eleições2022 #FlávioBolsonaro #PublicidadePolítica (translated)

Matias Turkkila wrote that the leader of the French left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, had spoken about the end of capitalism at an event and said that a socialism based on white Catholic workers would not be realized in France. Turkkila compared Mélenchon to Finland's Li Andersson. According to Turkkila, Métapolitique interpreted the comment to mean that Mélenchon considered the old socialism focused on white trade union workers to be dead and wanted to build a foundation based on immigration and cultural diversity instead. He also mentioned that 69 percent of France's Muslims had voted for Mélenchon's LFI party in the first round of the presidential elections. According to Turkkila, The Jewish Chronicle and The Telegraph were among the critics who described this as an opportunistic alliance with the growing Muslim voter base instead of the traditional working class. He asked if this scenario sounded familiar. #sosialismi #Ranska #monimuotoisuus (translated)

Léo Lins contested Lula's statement that he had worked for 27 years in a factory. According to the author, Lula started working informally around the age of 12, had his first official job at 14, and, as a teenager, entered the metallurgy sector and took a mechanical lathe course at Senai, which lasted approximately three years. The author stated that Lula worked in various factories, lost his little finger in an accident at 18, and from around 20 to 26, was a mechanical lathe operator at Indústrias Villares in the ABC region of São Paulo. At 26, he allegedly left the factory to work full-time at the metalworkers' union. Based on this trajectory, the author calculated that Lula would have accumulated about 14 to 15 years of work before dedicating himself fully to union activities, of which 11 to 12 were related to metallurgy. He asserted that even when adding other periods, the total would not reach half of the 27 years mentioned by Lula on Flow and called him a liar. #Trabalho #Metalurgia #HistóriaTrabalhista (translated)
