Fact-checking site designed to deny false news and rumors on the internet.Rumor – With money from the Venezuelan people, First Lady Cilia Flores reserved an entire floor of a five-star hotel in Rio de Janeiro to spend New Year's Eve.One of the most classic types of fake news on the Brazilian web is that related to leaders from South American countries.Coincidentally (but not), left-wing leaders are victims of several false stories that are successful among right-wing militants in Brazil (are they so stupid that they can't verify anything?).Currently, the countries with the highest number of fake news are Argentina, Chile and Venezuela.And, in the case of today's story, let's talk about a message related to the country of Nicolás Maduro.More exactly, to his wife.A message points out that Cilia Flores, Venezuela's first lady, will spend the New Year in Brazil.For New Year's Eve, she would have rented an entire floor in a five-star hotel in Rio de Janeiro.Read the message that circulates online, which talks about “the Venezuelan people's money” and makes a kind of “summons” for protesters:It must be either at Fasano or Copacabana Palace.Discover Cariocas there to give her a welcome!The 1st lady of Venezuela reserved an entire floor of a five-star hotel in Rio de Janeiro for the New Year's Eve pass.Cília Flores sent a list of 86 guests who will stay with her, all paid for by the Venezuelan Government. Capitalism for me, socialism for youIt didn't take many people long to start spreading information left and right around.There is only one “little problem”: the story is false.More than that, it is a fake news that was denied on Boatos.org at the end of 2018. As the denial of yesteryear is valid for today, remember what we wrote.Let's start, of course, with the content of the message.The content is classic with rumors characteristics.Alarmist tone, with an air of denunciation and partisan.Also, the message is vague (it doesn't even give more details about the content).She also does not mention the source from which this information was taken.And when we went looking for details of this supposed party of Venezuela's first lady in Rio, we didn't find anything (neither in the Brazilian media nor in the Venezuelan media).This is very strange, given that the Brazilian press covers Venezuelan affairs closely and, for sure, it would not fail to report on the trip of Maduro, his family and so many guests to our country.By the way, the proof that the Brazilian media follows Venezuela closely, even at the end of the year, is the news published here both at the turn of 2016 and 2017. On both occasions, the president spoke and spoke about laws and even adjustments wages in the country.It is worth mentioning that on none of the occasions Maduro and his wife left Venezuela.Finally, be aware that the profile that published this story usually publishes controversial (and false) news like this.From there, for example, came the story about the closing of the STF by the army and also “the denunciation” that Dona Marisa, wife of ex-president Lula, who died in 2017, was alive.Ah, the profile also advocates military intervention and publishes “communism belongs to the devil” style publications.It's quite exacerbated, anyway.Going back to 2021. It's good to remember that, in addition to the fact that the story remains false (there is no prediction of the Venezuelan first lady coming to spend the New Year in Rio de Janeiro), at this turn of the year Rio de Janeiro won't even have big events.The parties were restricted due to the threat of the Ômicron variant of Covid-19.In short: the information that Cilia Flores, Venezuela's first lady, reserved an entire hotel floor to host the New Year's Eve party in Brazil is false.It is a false message that was disproved in 2018 and that was circulated again for some reason.Ps.: This article is a suggestion from readers of Boatos.org.If you want to suggest a topic to Boatos.org, get in touch with us through the website, Facebook and WhatsApp on the phone (61) 99458-8494.Ps2: Check out our new “Opportunities” section by clicking here.On the page, you can access promotions, discounts and websites that give away freebies.Journalist and Internet scam hunter
