The Chega party manipulated a video of André Ventura during a solidarity action with the populations affected by the storms in Espinho, adding a fake rain filter to exaggerate the intensity of the precipitation.
It was raining when André Ventura carried goods to help the populations affected by the storms but, according to the Lusa agency, Chega added fake rain to a video responding to those who questioned that it was raining “torrentially”.
It was raining heavily, or not, when Chega’s candidate for the presidential elections carried pallets of water and milk to the populations affected by the bad weather, in Espinho, during the campaign.
The Lusa agency compared and confirmed that There was manipulation at a certain point in the publication of these campaign images. Chega guarantees that they faithfully correspond to the moment recorded.
However, according to Lusa, if the images provided by Chega do not show the filters, in the version published on February 4th, on Instagram, the addition of a fake rain filter is observed.
Conclusion: it is true that it was raining at the time, but not torrentially.
