Jeje questioned why the Electoral Public Ministry had not yet requested the annulment of Flávio Bolsonaro's slate. He stated that the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) had a consolidated understanding that the use of churches and religious leaders to promote candidacies could constitute an abuse of power and lead to the annulment of the registration and the ineligibility of those involved. He cited a decision from the TSE as an example, according to which statements made from the pulpit during public worship and in front of a large audience indicated that the structure and religious authority had been used to promote candidacies, and not only for spiritual purposes (TSE. Rel. Min. Antônio Carlos Ferreira. AREspe 0600354-26.2024.6.26.0220). He also mentioned Article 24, Item VIII, of the Electoral Code, which prohibited parties and candidates from receiving donations, including through advertising, from charitable and religious entities. #Eleições2024 #JustiçaEleitoral #AbusoDePoder (translated)

Jeffrey Chiquini stated that the reform of the Judiciary should eliminate political appointments to the higher courts. He said that a Judiciary made up of politicians in robes would not be independent and advocated for judicial independence as a condition for impartiality. Chiquini declared that, in the first week of the legislature, he would call public hearings to start discussions and present proposals for the reform of the justice system. According to him, entities from the sector, state and national associations of the judiciary, associations of the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Bar Association, and the Public Defender's Office would be invited. He also advocated for the appreciation of career judges, which he described as a right and a guarantee of society, and said that he would seek to restore legal security. #ReformaJudiciária #Justiça #IndependênciaJudiciária (translated)

There were poorly made, poorly drafted regulations.

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that a large-scale fire destroyed laboratories and research at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) on the night of Wednesday, October 7. According to her, the rector Alfredo Macedo Gomes estimated the damages at R$ 100 million. The author said that, before the conclusion of an investigation into the origin of the flames, the case was already politically associated with supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro. She linked this association to the circulation of anonymous screenshots with threats attributed to Bolsonaro supporters, released by elected federal deputy Jones Manoel from the PSOL party. According to Michelin, he announced that he would request investigations from the Federal Police and the Federal Public Ministry, but there was no confirmed identification of the authors, public authentication of the conversations, or evidence presented that linked the threats to the fire. Michelin also mentioned protests organized by university entities at UFPE on October 6, following the results of the first round, which, according to her, consolidated the advance of the right in Congress. The author questioned who produced and published the screenshots and why political accusations emerged before the conclusion of the investigations. She argued that the hypothesis of a "false flag" should be investigated, including the possible fabrication of political accusations, and stated that using anonymous messages to politically condemn someone without proof could escalate tensions in the country before the second round. #IncêndioUFPE #LiberdadeAcadêmica #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)
