Allies accuse Carlos Bolsonaro of manipulating video of Nikolas' act

Allies of the federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira accused the former councilor Carlos Bolsonaro of manipulate the audio of a video published on social media about the walk Nikolas took between Minas Gerais and Brasília.

The episode occurred after Carlos Bolsonaro released, on Instagram Stories, a video recorded last Friday night (23/1), when the walk passed through the city of Luzianiain the surroundings of the Federal District. In the recording published by the former councilor, it is possible to hear supporters shouting “Come back, Bolsonaro”, in reference to the former president Jair Bolsonaro.

According to Nikolas Ferreira’s allies, the audio does not correspond to what was originally recorded at the scene. According to the group, in the original video — to which the column claims to have had access — the participants chanted: “I am Brazilian, with great pride, with great love”and not slogans calling for the return of the former president.

The accusation of editing and inserting false audio caused discomfort among Nikolas’ supporters, who interpreted the publication as an attempt to politically link the act in an artificial way to former president Jair Bolsonaro, diverting the focus from the mobilization led by the deputy from Minas Gerais.

The column sought out Carlos Bolsonaro to comment on the accusation of manipulating the video, but There was no response until the closing of this article. Nikolas Ferreira was also wanted, but preferred not to speak out about the case. The space remains open for positioning of both.

The episode exposes a new internal noise among allies in the conservative camp and occurs amid the national repercussion of the walk led by Nikolas, which gathered supporters along the route to Brasília.
