"Common sense was lacking," says Mourão regarding the Supreme Court's decision to censor websites.

Everyone knows where their own shoe pinches. I hope a common-sense solution is reached in this matter. I think common sense is not prevailing," he said.
247 - Vice President Hamilton Mourão called the decision by Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes, which ordered Crusoé magazine and the O Antagonista website to remove articles mentioning the Court's president, Dias Toffoli, an act of censorship. "I have already stated that I consider this to be an act of censorship," he said.
"I don't want to criticize the Judiciary. Everyone knows where their own problems lie. I hope a common-sense solution can be reached in this. I think common sense isn't prevailing," he added. According to Mourão, since the decision was made by the Supreme Court itself, "it's up to the Judiciary to reach a better outcome in all of this."
