#Brazil joined the #TheCleanNetwork program started by the #Trump administration. The Clean Network program seeks to make sure the installation and operation of all sorts of personal and business communication systems using the #5G technology are performed by companies that follow rules created to prevent data vulnerability and to prevent data access, alteration, spying, and stealing by the #ChineseCommunistParty.
Delivering on his promise to follow on #Trump's footsteps to decrease #bureaucracy and #redtape by revoking 2 decrees for every new one he would sign, #Bolsonaro administration has been able to reduce 2.5 times more, and after signing less than 700 decrees, some of them against his own will due to the fact that they are mandated by law, more than 3,300 decrees were revoked. The number of regulations he revoked during these almost 2 years already surpassed the number of the previous 20 years.
Replicating the malice some mainstream news outlets have when reporting about #Trump or his administration, #Veja posted an article titled, “Gov't approved R$400,000 for the production of a documentary about the life of a friend of #Lula – The money will be used for a biography about a bishop that made a Mass to pay homage to the ex-president before he was arrested.”
By the title, it implies that the gov't is directly involved in this, causing the one to question #Bolsonaro's or his adm's integrity. “They are funding a leftist project?,” one could wonder.
The truth is that every single one of the almost 600 congresspeople has the right to request funding for 20 projects a year without the need of the approval of the #Congress itself, of the #Senate, of the president, or of any secretary. This particular funding was requested by a member of Lula's party, the PT, so it would only make sense, but some media tried to use it to cause conflict among Bolsonaro's supporters.
