MADRID, 14 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
YouTube has decided to remove a video from the official channel of the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, in which he made unfounded comments about electoral fraud in the 2018 elections, in which he won, in which he attacked the reliability of electronic ballot boxes, against which he has been attacking in the last year.
The video, which on the other hand can still be seen on his Facebook profile, dates from August 12, 2021 and is an interview that Bolsonaro gave to the Jovem Pan radio station.
In it that conversation, in addition to spreading some other false information about the pandemic, Bolsonaro also assured that in the 2018 elections the electronic ballot boxes would have been hacked and the votes manipulated, at the same time that he criticized the then president of the Court Electoral Superior (TSE), Luis Roberto Barroso, for this issue.
“Why did some deputies decide to vote against the printed vote? If we are offering one more way to guarantee security in the elections,” said the Brazilian president at the time.
In addition to the constant attacks on the reliability of the Brazilian electoral system, for which it is already being investigated, Bolsonaro has also not skimped on assertions questioning either the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines, or underestimating the scope of the pandemic.
It is not the first time that the content platforms have removed a video of the president of Brazil, who has been denounced on thirty occasions for some of the statements he has made in his appearances through social networks, especially those that have been doing about the pandemic
Facebook has removed two of his videos on up to two occasions. The first in March 2020 when he promoted the use of chloroquine – a drug against malaria without any scientific basis – as a preventive treatment against the coronavirus and more recently, in October 2021, one in which he linked the vaccine with the AIDS.
