247 - Former PT (Workers' Party) lawyer, Supreme Court Justice José Antônio Dias Toffoli, has been keeping in his drawer, for 40 days, since he requested to review the case, the process that could define the future of the PSD, a party created by the mayor of São Paulo, Gilberto Kassab.

Without this definition, the PSD doesn't know if it will have access to party funds this year, nor the right to television time during the free election broadcasts. According to lawyers linked to the PSD, the delay has already cost R$ 4 million. And without television time, the party is weakened in potential electoral alliances.
