Bolsonaro, Tarcísio, Nunes and at least 68 congressmen join the demonstration on Paulista Avenue on September 7
Opposition to the President’s government Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) will use the act on Paulista Avenue this Saturday (September 7, 2024) to pressure for the impeachment of STF (Supreme Federal Court) minister Alexandre de Moraes. The conservative wing should also express support for Elon Musk after the judge suspended X (formerly Twitter) and froze the accounts of Starlink, companies owned by the billionaire.
The former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) called for the demonstration on August 28, through a video released on X. The event is organized by pastor Silas Malafaia, an ally of Bolsonaro.
Another reason alleged by Bolsonaro supporters to defend Moraes’ impeachment is the disclosure of unofficial investigations conducted by the TSE, during Moraes’ presidency, against allies of the former president.
The movement to pressure the Senate President, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), which is moving forward with the impeachment of Moraes, is led by the Bolsonarist wing in Congress. However, according to the Poder360the The chance of the congressman scheduling the request is zero.
The opposition said it will file the request on Monday (9th September), after the demonstration.
The deputy Sosthenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ) is one of the organizers of the congressmen’s participation in the act. In a note sent to journalists, Sóstenes stated that the “The only target of the demonstration is to call for impeachment” of Moraes.
“People will be able to bring posters, inflatable dolls, do whatever they want”declared the deputy.
