See what is #FACT or #FAKE in Anthony Garotinho's interview with O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN

The candidate for governor of Rio by Republicanos, Anthony Garotinho, was interviewed on Thursday by O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN. In the 1h30 interview, he minimized his rejection and the arrests he suffered, besides blaming Michelle for the non-disclosure of the "night of the Astronauts" video. Garotinho also proposed a "BOPE 2.0" and the creation of subway line 3 with "super ferries", but dodged questions about support for Lula or his son Flavio Bolsonaro, leaving his presidential vote open. The series of interviews began with Douglas Ruas (PL), continued with William Siri (PSOL), and will be concluded by Eduardo Paes (PSD) on Friday.
