Watch (5min21s):
The week was marked by PL requestpresident’s party Jair Bolsonaro, to the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) to annul the votes of 279,000 ballot boxes in the 2nd round. The caption said on Tuesday (22.Nov.2022) that there are irregularities in the equipment and that, if excluded, the current chief executive would have been re-elected with 51.05% of the votes.
When analyzing the action, the president of the TSE, Alexandre de Moraes, determined that the PL complemented the request for annulment of votes within 24 hours, to also include those from the 1st round.
The magistrate said that the questioned ballot boxes were used in the 2 rounds of the election. The measure forced the party to also question the functioning of the polls in the 1st round of the election, causing it to place the 99 deputies elected by the party under suspicion.
In response, the PL said that extending the request to the 1st shift would cause “serious procedural turmoil”considering the number of candidates running for elective office.
On Wednesday, November 23, Moraes rejected the request of Bolsonaro’s party and fined the coalition that launched the president in BRL 22.9 million for litigation in bad faith, when the provocation to the judiciary occurs in an abusive way, distorting facts or using the process to achieve an illegal purpose. The minister classified the request as “Awkward and illicit”🇧🇷
The PL activated legal advice to analyze the minister’s decision. The acronym reiterated that it only followed the stipulations of article 51 of the electoral law, which obliges the parties to carry out an inspection of the electoral process.
CEILING HOLE PEC
And the ceiling-piercing PEC ends another blocked week. The proposal makes it possible to breach the spending ceiling and frees up space in the budget for the elected government to fund campaign promises.

The proposal would also release R$ 105 billion to recompose the budget of the Popular Pharmacy and other programs.
Gleisi Hoffmannnational president of the PT, blamed the lack of political articulation in the Senate due to the delay in processing the text. It was a criticism of the senator Jaques Wagner (PT-BA)who mentioned the lack of indication of a finance minister to help in the articulations in favor of the proposal.
The deputy said she believes in the political solution to unlock the PEC, but said that it will be necessary to look for another way out if the proposal fails. She, however, did not explain which one.
