BRThe Brazilian government under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) spent R$22.2 million on social media advertisements between April 1st and June 29th, according to data published by Meta (owner of Facebook and Instagram). This averages approximately R$246,000 per day, with the PT party spending R$2.7 million during the same period. The spending has increased significantly in recent weeks, reaching R$4.5 million in the last seven days alone. Major campaigns included those related to changes in the income tax and a campaign against femicide titled 'Governo do Brasil por Elas.' The government has not yet responded to questions regarding the criteria for these investments, the reasons behind the increase in spending, or the total budget allocated for institutional advertising this year.
