Björn Harms 2h

Björn Harms announced that his new book "The Asylum Complex" would be available in stores the following day; he already had some freshly printed copies in hand. He wrote that the book includes, among other things, a detailed overall calculation of the asylum costs of past years and an overview of the number of asylum accommodations in Germany. According to him, the federal government does not know this number. According to Harms, the book also addresses real estate companies and hoteliers who earn millions by renting to the state, as well as home operators, welfare associations, lawyer networks, and state companies that benefit from the growing market or mass immigration. He announced interviews with insiders from the social industry and the real estate market, as well as insights into asylum NGOs, refugee councils, and million-euro funding programs from the EU and the federal government. Additionally, the book aims to address legal questions related to the topic of asylum. Harms requested feedback on the book. #Asylkomplex #Buchneuerscheinung #Asylpolitik (translated)

Tsuki found it "sensational" that the magazine Veja had directly accused Lula's campaign of spreading false news against the publication. He then summarized the arguments from a response by the magazine regarding its report about Vorcaro. According to the text from Veja reproduced by Tsuki, Vorcaro's lawyer would have confirmed the authenticity of the audio, and the magazine stated that it removed five short statements — 15 seconds in total — to protect the source. The publication also clarified that it did not say that the audio was included in the plea bargain nor that the confession was made to the Federal Police. Regarding the PGR, the magazine claimed that Vorcaro, through his lawyers, presented an account regarding the funding of a documentary about Lula and promised to deliver documents if the plea bargain was accepted, which did not happen. Tsuki also stated that some outlets were using "jurists" in their headlines to conceal, according to his assessment, that the coordination of Lula's presidential campaign was spreading false news against Veja's cover story. #PolíticaBR #FakeNews #Eleições2022 (translated)
