''RELATÓRIO DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO'', 2006, P. 4-5 )〕 In 1974 the magazine boosted the sales and the number of subscribers began to increase.〔 ''Veja'' is known for its attacks on the worldwide left-wing; for instance, when Cuban ruler Fidel Castro left power, the magazine's front cover read ''"It was about time!"''.

On 2005, as part of its growing right-wing agenda, ''Veja'' defended the rejection of the prohibition of firearms in that year's referendum. According to ''Folha de S. Paulo'' columnist Barbara Gancia, ''Veja'' tried to mislead its readers presenting the referendum as a proposition of the ruling Workers' Party (PT) and its owners had a conflict of interest in campaigning against banning firearms; ''Vejas publishing company Editora Abril was a business partner of the Birmann family, owner of the Brazilian Cartridge Company. During the same year it was responsible for several news stories about the Mensalão scandal.
