Brazilian Chamber of Deputies pays tribute to Alexandre de Moraes for his role in the elections, angering Bolsonaro-supporting lawmakers.
Deputy Áureo Ribeiro, responsible for the nomination, highlighted the "transparent and efficient management" of the president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), Minister Alexandre de Moraes, during the elections.
247 - The Financial Oversight and Control Committee of the Chamber of Deputies approved, this Wednesday (9), an award to the president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Minister Alexandre de Moraes, due to his performance in leading this year's elections. The nomination, according to the Folha de S. Paul, was not well received by parliamentarians who are part of the base of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government.
Moraes was nominated to receive the honor by Congressman Áureo Ribeiro (Solidariedade-RJ), who highlighted the magistrate's "transparent and efficient management" during the elections.
Criticism followed immediately. "We, federal deputies, are witnessing this minister's crusade of abuses, and here in the Chamber we are going to honor him?", questioned the Bolsonaro-supporting deputy Sanderson (PL-RS). The parliamentarian criticized the fact that the honor was granted one day after the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) ordered the removal of the Twitter account of deputy José Medeiros (PL-MT).
"We believe that if there's one tribute that shouldn't be paid to Alexandre de Moraes, it's for his transparency. He has jeopardized the entire Brazilian constitutional state," said Bolsonaro supporter Caroline de Toni (PL-SC).
