Secom published a video to publicize federal actions in the fight against the pandemic. But at a certain point, the video used an expression that refers to the famous Nazi inscription at the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp in (Poland): "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work liberates" ). Secom is responsible the President’s communications.

The Secom video, which was shared by President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party), states at one point: "Work, unity and truth will set us free [sic]".

In the text in which the video is presented, Secom's profile on Twitter makes a slight variation, without the error of agreement: "Part of the press insists on turning its back on facts, on Brazil, and on Brazilians. But @govbr, by determination of his boss, will continue working to SAVE LIVES and preserve the employment and dignity of Brazilians. Work, union and the truth will liberate Brazil. "
