It is not true that the book in which President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) signed the mandate and the presidential sash he used during the ceremony are fake, as social media posts claim. The petist signed a different document from his predecessors because the old volume, which contains the signatures of dignitaries from Café Filho (1954-1955) to Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022), was closed in 2019. Despite being different from the one used by Bolsonaro, the presidential sash worn by Lula is not fake: it had already been used by him in his first inauguration, in 2003.
The publications that reproduced the misleading information amassed at least 10,000 Kwai views, 3,000 Instagram likes and hundreds of Facebook shares on Monday afternoon (2). The content was also disseminated through WhatsApp, a platform whose scope cannot be estimated (talk to Fatima).
Publications on social networks claim that the inauguration book signed by President Lula at the National Congress on Sunday (1st) is fake because it does not have stripes with the color of Brazil, which is not true. As explained on the Federal Senate website, President Lula open the third volume of the Historical Book of the Presidential Inauguration.
The first book had 30 pages and was signed in 1891 by Deodoro da Fonseca, while the second was opened in 1954, with the signature of Café Filho, who took over after the suicide of Getúlio Vargas. The facsimiles of the first two volumes are available, in their entirety, at in the Archive of the Senate.
It is worth mentioning that the opening of a third volume of the document was expected from January 2019. On the last page of the second volume, it can be seen that the then general secretary of the Senate table, Luiz Fernando Bandeira de Mello Filho, has closed the notebook after the inauguration of the former president.

Lula took the oath as the 39th president of Brazil last Sunday (1st) after winning the election with 60.3 million votes. THE the signature of the term of possession has been digitised and can be seen on the Senate website. The ceremony took place yesterday afternoon and was characterized by two speeches, both verified by Aos Fatos (cf here and here).
The lead is false!
In addition to the book, social media users also say that the presidential sash used by Lula during his inauguration is fake, but it’s not true. Although different from the one used by former President Bolsonaro, who was not at the ceremony or handing over the gown, the sash used by Lula is the same one he wore during his first term (2003-2006), with the golden coat of the arms and center with the colors blue and white (see below).

At the 2011 inauguration, Lula presented Dilma Rousseff (PT) with the latest banner, which displays the red-edged star and leaves of the presidential coat of arms in brighter colors (see below). In 2015, however, the former president presented himself with the old armband, used by Lula in his first term. According to the newspaper The State of Sao Paulo, this happened because the recent presidential sash and its pin would be gone. You objects have been found after.

Michel Temer (MDB) wore the presidential sash during Jair Bolsonaro’s inauguration ceremony on January 1, 2019. as you can see in the deeds weather. Because Bolsonaro did not attend Sunday’s ceremony, Lula he chose to use the old trackthe same one he wore during his first term.
Conspiracy theories. The allegations about the book and banner are among the conspiracy theories used to argue that the possession was a forgery. One of them is that the commanders of the Armed Forces did not attend the ceremony, which is not true: General Júlio Cesar de Arruda (Army Commander), Admiral Marcos Sampaio Olsen (future Navy Commander) and Brigadier Marcelo Damasceno (future commander of the Air Force) accompanied the inauguration of Palazzo Planalto.
The false claim that Augusto Heleno was not exempt from the GSI (Institutional Security Office) and that this proves that he was at the head of the country also circulates on the networks. the general he was discharged on December 31st by the then interim president, Antonio Hamilton Mourão (Republicans), as stated in the DOU (Official Gazette).
