See what is #FACT and what is #FAKE in Lula's interview on Globo

oglobo28 August 2026 at 03:38

The presidential candidate for the PT, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was interviewed this Thursday (27) by Globo. The interview was conducted by journalists Renata Vasconcellos and César Tralli, directly from Globo Studios, in Rio de Janeiro, and was part of a series of interviews with the main presidential candidates.

The interview was fact-checked by Globo's fact-checking team, which analyzed the statements made by Lula during the program. It is the first time that interviews with aspiring candidates to the Presidential Palace are aired after the "Jornal Nacional", and not during the news program.

The broadcaster invited the six highest-placed candidates in the voting intention poll released by Quaest on August 14. The order of the interviews was determined by lottery, with the presence of party representatives.

The complete schedule includes Romeu Zema (Novo) on Monday (24), Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) on Tuesday (25), Renan Santos (Missão) on Wednesday (26), Lula on Thursday (27), and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) on Friday (28).

Electoral agenda will scatter legislators' effort

The speakers of the House, Hugo Motta, and of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, had lunch with President Lula to seal the peace between them, after months of estrangement that included the rejection of the nomination of Jorge Messias to the Supreme Court. The meeting had electoral motivation and served to define the priorities of the "concentrated effort" of next week in Congress, when proposals that are not voted on will be left for after October.

Fight against electoral harassment has shown positive results

Tighter oversight by the Electoral Court and the Labor Prosecutor's Office has significantly reduced cases of electoral harassment compared to the 2022 general elections. Harassment occurs when employers, executives, or public managers pressure employees to vote for specific candidates, constituting a crime. More effective enforcement has resulted in a healthier environment for exercising free voting.

Congress installs joint committee today to analyze MP on the 'blusinhas tax'

The National Congress installed on Friday the joint committee responsible for analyzing the provisional measure that ends the so-called "blusinhas tax," the 20% charge on international purchases of up to US$ 50. The meeting was moved up to define the presidency, which will be held by Deputy Reginaldo Lopes (PT-MG), and the rapporteurship, with Senator Leila Barros (PDT-DF), both allies of President Lula. The proposal is considered an electoral asset for Lula, a candidate for re-election. The committee had already been installed at the beginning of August, but was stalled without the definition of the main positions.

End of the 6x1 schedule: days off, transition period, and weekly workload; understand the proposal being discussed in the Senate

The PEC that ends the 6x1 work schedule may advance in the Senate next week, ahead of the elections. The proposal establishes a maximum workload of 40 hours per week with two paid rest days, without salary reduction, but implementation will be gradual: first the workload drops from the current 44 to 42 hours per week, with additional deadlines for the complete reduction. The Lula government, which made the issue an electoral priority, awaits approval before the vote.
