Moroccan Migration Myth in Brazil | Morocco News

A viral false narrative claiming Brazil is flooded with Moroccan migrants due to Lula’s policies has exploded online—especially in Argentina—with no real evidence to back it up. The story, fueled by misleading images and a single August 25th article from La Derecha Diario, falsely blamed Lula for a “wave” of Moroccans entering Santa Catarina. Reality? Just 57 Moroccans applied for asylum there from January to July—less than 2% of total applicants—and nationwide, only 835 Moroccans sought asylum out of 40,000 applications. This misinformation, which racked up over 475,000 views, shows how easily false claims spread when they exploit political tensions—even without facts.
