TSE denies Soraya Thronicke's request to participate in JN's interview.
Fifth in the polls, Thronicke alleged that preferential treatment was given to the four presidential candidates interviewed.
247 The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) rejected the request from the campaign coordination of presidential candidate Soraya Thronicke (União Brasil) to participate in the series of interviews conducted by Jornal Nacional (JN) on Rede Globo, along with the four candidates with the highest rankings in the polls. This information comes from... UOL.
Thronicke alleges that preferential treatment was given to the four presidential candidates interviewed, and that she, who is in fifth place in the polls, was overlooked.
The candidate had only two minutes of exposure on JN, through a recorded interview that aired a week after the debate with the four top-ranked candidates, who each had 40 minutes.
In her ruling, Justice Maria Cláudia Bucchianeri stated that the broadcaster did not provide preferential treatment and that there are no specific criteria in the law for press conferences.
"The television station, navigating within the freedom of choice granted to it by the eloquent silence of the legislator, chose to provide space for the four candidates best positioned in the polls to present their proposals and ideas, according to the results of electoral surveys," the minister wrote.
