Government betting on the debate on the richest tax

The government of President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva has a victory over social networks in the last few days, being able to discuss the discussion on the taxation of the richest people, shows an exclusive survey by Bites, a data analysis company, at the request of Political transmission ) (Royal news system of the state group). This is the first time that the government can lead “fairly relevant” a theme on social networks, it highlights the technical director of Bites André Eleg.

The members to tax the themes on social networks have passed over 270% in the last few days, a reflection of the efforts of Lula’s supporters to exploit the fiscal speech of the richest people on digital platforms. The vast majority of these publications came from friendly people to the government, who shows, to the technical director of Bites, André Eleg, who for the “first time” the government was able to create a mobilization on the networks.

The study covers information from the period of June 25, when the National Congress approved the legislative decree that canceled the increase in the tax rates of financial operations (IOF), until Wednesday 2. The publications were considered on various networks (X, relevant Instagram account, open Facebook publications, news, blogs, forums and Reddit).

Bites identified the terms used by governors and opponents and have divided most of the messages between these two groups. The publications with the terms “Mamata Congress” and “Hugo Motta Traditor”, for example, were included in the calculation of governors. Others with critical terms to the government were associated with the opposition. There are still neutral messages that have not followed this “Logic of the herd” of the groups on the left and right.

From the 25th, over 1.5 million mentions tax issues have been in these networks. The peak was Wednesday 2, when more than 307,000 were recorded.

The data show how the total publications after 25, the date of the government’s defeat at the congress, was in gradual fall, until it reached about 82 thousand posts on Sunday 29. From that moment on, the trajectory was reversed. Governors began to mobilize the networks with the fiscal speech of the richest.

Wednesday 2, apex of publications, the governors made more than 207 thousand places on the subject, the equivalent of about 67% of the total. The opposition, only 29 thousand, or about 9% of the total.

For the technical director of Bites André Eleg, the numbers show that the government was able to guide social networks for the first time “fairly relevant”. “For the first time, the government was very relevant to guide a theme and balance a correlation of the forces in which the government is generally defeated. In the networks the opposition wins. The government has been able to organize a narrative to make people discuss, from the AIF, the increase in taxes from the point of view of the reduction of unjustice and inequalities”

Eleg said that from 25, “there has been a slightly more balanced debate on networks and also with more opposition interactions, but this has changed this week, in the last three days, especially when governors have started to invest a lot in these hashtags”.

The director of Bites said that this “was an at least partial victory of the government”, showing that “the opposition could not organize as much as the government”.

Bites also collected publications and interactions in the places by the allies of the government and opposition in the networks. This cutout shows that the largest number of publications was fired on the day the congress approved the reversal of the Iof increase. Most of them came from the opposition: 288 opposition publications against 229 governors.

When the metric is demanding, the government’s victory was narrower. From 25 June to 2 July, there were 13.3 million interactions with IF publications and related topics. Governors were responsible for 4.37 million of them and opponents for 4.03 million.

The technical director of the Morsi highlighted this point and said that “the distance (in the volume of the commitment) is not as big as the volume of the posts”. “The opposition still has the ability to talk about issues and have many interactions to have a more structured base,” he said.

The number of publications of the deputies of both the government and the opposition in the last few days has not followed the growth curve of places on tax topics on a general level, which indicates a good movement of the main political actors and more related to militancy in general.

Like the Political transmission He showed that the social communication secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic monitored the accusations on social networks at the National Congress after overturning the decree of increase of the IF. The criticisms of the legislature and the President of the Chamber of Representatives, Hugo Motta (Republican-PB), were celebrated to be organic and pressure from the congress at a time when the government is under pressure from deputies and senators after the defeat in the case of Iof.

Secom and the government as a whole, however, have tried to move away from these publications and the most frank criticism of Motta and members of the congress, according to the sources listened to by the relationship. The government leader in the Chamber, José Guimarães (PT-CE), for example, was public to express his “solidarity” in Motta.

“Despite the government recently addressed by the government in the Iof vote, this cannot be used as a justification for personal attacks to the mayor, Hugo Motta. What we should continue to give priority is the controversy of ideas in the social field, involving society in understanding the efforts that the government has made the super rich tax and promote social and fiscal justice,” he said in X.
