247 - The federal deputies from PSOL have filed a complaint with the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office against... "Brazil cannot stop" propaganda According to Marcelo Freixo on his Twitter account, the advertising campaign was carried out without a bidding process and, according to the PSOL deputy, is "criminal" and "endangers the lives of millions of Brazilians."

"Don't listen to the flat-earthers, protect yourself, stay home!", he emphasized. 

Bolsonaro's campaign will cost R$ 4,8 million to public coffers. Because the advertising campaign was classified as an emergency measure, it was carried out without a bidding process.

The campaign encourages people to go out into the streets and return to work, contradicting guidelines from the World Health Organization and the directives from state governors to combat the new coronavirus pandemic.

Although the piece is still being finalized, the material has already been released on the official page of the Presidency's Communications Secretariat (Secom) and in Bolsonaro supporter groups on social media.
