University newspaper published cover of Rita Matias?

After entering the facilities of the University of Coimbra Radio (RUC) and taking the microphone, the Chega deputy, Rita Matias, finally achieved what she seems to appreciate the most: protagonism. The phrase appears in one of several Facebook publications alleging that deputy Rita Matias appeared on the cover of the university newspaper of Coimbra "A Cabra". The posts began to appear after news reported that the Chega deputy had invaded the studio of the University of Coimbra Radio with a contingent from the party. Rita Matias was "identified as responsible for a demonstration that did not comply with legal requirements," she told the Lusa agency, an official source from the Coimbra District Command of the PSP. Rita Matias was identified by the PSP after the invasion of the radio studio in Coimbra. The Chega members said they were protesting against the prohibition of the University of Coimbra Association's entry into the building by members of the party. This decision was approved by a large majority in the magna assembly in February of this year. Also to Lusa, Jaime Raposo Nunes, from the RUC Information Department, said that the party was invited to participate in the program, but remotely, given the approved decision. It was after this that the newspaper "A Cabra" would have dedicated a cover to Rita Matias. The image circulating of the newspaper's first page is almost entirely occupied by a photograph of the deputy. In a corner it reads that it is issue number 2879, published on October 13, 2026. There is no title. Several internet users believed that it was a real cover. "There is an almost literary irony in all this. Rita Matias enters a radio to be heard and ends up on the first page of a newspaper called A Cabra. Let's agree, there are coincidences that not even the best comedian could write," writes a Facebook user. "Congratulations to the newspaper A Cabra. For the intelligence, the sense of humor, and for demonstrating that sarcasm continues to be one of the most sophisticated ways to exercise freedom of expression," he adds. The image is, however, false. The newspaper shared on its social networks that "this visual representation does not correspond to a printed edition of the University of Coimbra Newspaper – A CABRA". It refers that many of the publications are in a "satirical tone," but that "taking into account their reach and sharing," the editorial team "considered it important to leave an explanatory note". "Since it can sometimes be interpreted as true, we make this warning," it reads. Conclusion It is false that the cover circulating on social networks was published in the printed edition of the university newspaper of Coimbra. The newspaper itself released a statement in which it is stated that it is a false image. Thus, according to the Observer's classification system, this content is: WRONG In the Facebook classification system, this content is: FALSE: The main claims of the content are factually inaccurate. Generally, this option corresponds to the classifications "false" or "mostly false" on fact-checking websites.
