We started our investigation by a reverse image search on Google, whose results led us to the same video published on YouTube on 27 March 2018. According to the caption of the video, it shows the citizens of Parana who were throwing eggs at a bus carrying Lula who was the former President of Brazil.

Next, we searched for relevant news reports related to the incident, as per the news report, this video shows a group of protestors in Foz do Iguaçu in Paraná, Brazil. The protestors had attacked the bus by mistaking it as a part of Lula’s convoy during election campaign. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was the former President of Brazil. Protesters both against and in favor of the former president organized new protests. Both these reports were published in 2018.
