Brazilian fact-checking outlet Aos Fatos has debunked a photo showing politician Renan Santos making the 'L' gesture, a symbol associated with supporters of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The image was found to have been generated by artificial intelligence. The case has drawn attention in Brazil as concerns grow over AI-created political images circulating online and misleading voters ahead of electoral periods.

A court ruling has prohibited the São Paulo city government, led by Mayor Ricardo Nunes, from summoning municipal employees to attend political acts. The decision, reported by Poder360, restricts the use of public workers at demonstrations organized by the administration. The case is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over the political use of public servants in Brazil.
