Bolsonarist groups began publishing false results from polls and segments across Europe, pointing to an alleged broad victory by President Jair Bolsonaro. The data contradicts statements made by the main consulates and polling stations in European capitals.

In some cases, such as in Switzerland, the polls weren’t even counted when information spread about a fake victory of the right-wing candidate in WhatAapp groups and social networks. “My sister saw it all and said that Bolsonaro won there[Switzerland],” he says.
In an audio recording, a member of the group reports that Bolsonaro will “win by a large margin” and the group should not worry. In the case of Switzerland, while poll workers were still counting the votes, voters received false information in their network that the current president would receive 87% of the votes.
The same group shared information from an audio recording where, without any proof presented, a person claimed to have recorded an alleged manipulation in favor of Lula.
“We saw investigators coming out of the embassy,” says one man on the tape. “About 5 PT members came out dressed in red. They published the results and left Lula Livre satisfied. But then we went in and asked if they worked at the consulate. They said they were inspectors. But what do you mean? investigators? For what reasons we can’t? Woman, “He said he had a Bolsonaro supervisor, but he wasn’t there. I didn’t see it. There was only the PT supervisor, and the results were mixed for me. I don’t know if it’s true. But they seem manipulated. No, it’s normal. There’s something wrong.”
In another audio recording circulating in the group, the information was threatening. “There’s no way Lula can win. If she wins, we’ll take to the streets,” he said. The so-called voter, remembering the “Military” existence, said, “Let’s continue with faith. We have already won these elections.”
Groups still distributed fake vote counts and results without any source.
Hours before the end of the election process in the USA, the groups were informed that Bolsonaro would win 90 percent of the votes.
In France, for example, Bolsonarists pointed out that their candidate won by 8,789 votes to 459 of Lula. The officially recorded result was completely different, with 7,500 votes for Lula in Paris and just 1,300 for Bolsonaro.
In Germany, disinformation pointed to the deep differences between the two candidates. According to the messages, Bolsonaro would close by 12,300 votes to just 327 for Lula. In Portugal, fake news still says Bolsonaro got ten times more votes than Lula.
According to the data released by each of the overseas posts, Lula won in Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, China, Russia, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, Estonia, Singapore.
Bolsonaro has so far only won in Japan, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines and Mozambique.
