The battle for Moro's Senate seat intensifies with his likely expulsion.

247 - As the trial of Senator Sergio Moro (União-PR) by the Regional Electoral Court of Paraná (TRE-PR) approaches, scheduled for April 1st, expectations are growing regarding the possible vacancy of his Senate seat.

Ricardo Barros (PP), former leader of Jair Bolsonaro's government in the Chamber of Deputies, is seeking the former president's support for his candidacy. Meanwhile, Requião Filho (PT), state deputy and son of the former governor, is emerging as a potential candidate, along with nationally prominent figures such as the president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffmann, and even Michelle Bolsonaro.
