Barroso points out crimes committed by Bolsonaro, which the "functioning institutions" are unable to punish.
A Supreme Court Justice and president of the Superior Electoral Court asserts that Jair Bolsonaro collaborates directly with digital militias.
247 - Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, of the Supreme Federal Court and the Superior Electoral Court, granted interview In an interview with journalist Mariana Muniz of Globo, he pointed out Jair Bolsonaro's crimes, which remain unpunished. "The president had given his word that this matter was closed. He even praised the Brazilian electronic voting system. The film is repeating itself, with a bad script. There is no reason to watch the rerun. Before, the president said he had proof of fraud. When summoned to present it, (it became clear that) there was nothing. This is repeated rhetoric. It's just empty talk," stated Barroso, regarding Bolsonaro's new attack on electronic voting machines.
Barroso also mentioned the leak of a confidential Federal Police investigation into electronic voting machines by allies of Bolsonaro himself. "I was referring to the report by the delegate conducting the investigation, whose opinion deserves respect. The delegate has job security. And this gives an idea of what actually happened. Even during the previous administration of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), there was an attempted intrusion (into the system). A confidential procedure was initiated at the TSE, a confidential investigation at the Federal Police in which sensitive information about the internal workings of the TSE was requested, and this material was posted on the president's social media. The president facilitated the work of the digital militias," he stated.
Barroso also commented on the potential banning of Telegram and spoke about freedom of expression. "Freedom of expression is not freedom to sell weapons. It is not freedom to spread terrorism, to advocate for Nazism. It is not a space for criminals to attack democracy. Therefore, nobody wants to censor any platform, but there are expressions that are not legitimate. It is precisely to preserve democracy that we do not want platforms that want to destroy democracy and freedom of expression to be freely available here," he stated.
