Mentions of the secret budget on social media increase by 510%, fueled by criticism of corruption in the Bolsonaro government.
Simone Tebet's video about the secret budget went viral.
247 - Mentions of the secret budget increased by 510% last week compared to the previous period, according to the "Bit by Bit" survey, conducted daily by Quaest.
In total, the term was mentioned 541 times on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by approximately 232 users between October 4th and 10th, according to O Globo.
The survey identified that 58% of all mentions of the secret budget were negative, indicating greater mobilization of opponents of Bolsonaro on the issue.
In the debate about the secret budget, which peaked on social media on October 6th and 7th, one of the main focuses is that the secret budget should be better explored by the opposition and treated as a major corruption scandal of the Bolsonaro government. One of the triggers for this was a video that went viral last week, featuring a segment of Senator Simone Tebet's (MDB-MS) participation in the Flow podcast. In her speech, Tebet explains how rapporteur amendments work and classifies them as "the biggest corruption scheme on planet Earth".
