Description

For a long time, Justice Alexandre de Moraes has made controversial judicial decisions, especially against supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. This Saturday (17), the social network X announced that it will leave the country due to the Minister's decisions. Moreover, the owner of the social network, Elon Musk, has made several posts on X denouncing actions by Justice Alexandre de Moraes that he considers undemocratic.
Opposition parties have already indicated that they will file an impeachment request, and public demonstrations are being scheduled for September.
Although there has never been an impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice in Brazilian history, this appears to be the greatest uprising against a Justice ever seen. The impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice would have a significant impact on Brazilian politics, signaling greater control of the Supreme Court and judicial activism by the Legislative branch.The relevance of the matter is also global, as tensions between the branches of government and the judiciary have been observed in various countries, such as Hungary.
