Alexandre de Moraes rejects attacks against Cármen Lúcia: "cowardly and despicable"
In a statement, the president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) described Roberto Jefferson's attacks against the STF (Supreme Federal Court) minister as "cowardly and despicable."
247 - The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Minister Alexandre de Moraes, published a statement repudiating the attacks suffered by Minister Cármen Lúcia, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), by former federal deputy Roberto Jefferson (PTB).
The PTB member uttered a series of insults against the minister because of her vote in favor of granting former President Lula the right to reply on the Jovem Pan radio station.
"The Superior Electoral Court repudiates the cowardly and despicable aggression perpetrated against Minister Carmen Lúcia and will take all necessary institutional measures to combat intolerance, violence, hatred, discrimination, and misogyny, which are attacks on the dignity of all women and enemies of Democracy, which has historically had in our minister one of its greatest and most uncompromising defenders," says Moraes.
"The use of sexist and misogynistic aggression demonstrates the insignificant moral and intellectual stature of those who cowardly hide behind the false cloak of a non-existent and criminal 'freedom to aggress'," he added.

The Superior Electoral Court repudiates the cowardly and despicable attack perpetrated against Minister Carmen Lúcia and will take all necessary institutional measures to combat intolerance, violence, hatred, discrimination, and misogyny, which are attacks on the dignity of all women and enemies of Democracy, which has historically had in our Minister one of its greatest and most unwavering defenders.
The use of sexist and misogynistic aggression demonstrates the insignificant moral and intellectual stature of those who cowardly hide behind the false cloak of a non-existent and criminal "freedom to aggress," which should never be confused with the constitutional right to freedom of expression that, in Brazil and in civilized countries, does not allow its use as a protective shield for the practice of any type of criminal offense.
The example of courage, competence, and integrity shown by Minister Carmen Lúcia will continue to serve as a guide for the Superior Electoral Court to exercise, with respect and serenity, its constitutional mission of defending Democracy and the electoral system.
