Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) will answer today whether someone convicted in a second instance ruling can be elected.
Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) must decide whether a defendant convicted in the second instance can run for President – and, if elected, assume the office, which also involves the case of former President Lula; this information comes from Mônica Bergamo's column.
247 - The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is expected to respond this Thursday (24) whether a defendant convicted in the second instance can run for President – and, if elected, assume the position. This is reported in Mônica Bergamo's column.
The inquiry was made by federal deputy Marcos Rogério (DEM-RJ). Minister Napoleão Maia, the case's rapporteur, has already voted for the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) not to analyze the request because it concerns a specific case, that of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office argues that the consultation is indeed about a thesis and can be answered.
