PL appeals fine imposed by TSE for coup-mongering report contesting election results.
In its appeal, the party states that it "never intended to cause any disruption to the Brazilian electoral process, much less to foment any type of ideological movement."
247 - The PL, Jair Bolsonaro's party, appealed this Wednesday (30) against the millionaire fine of R$ 22,9 million imposed by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) after the party presented a coup-mongering report contesting the results of the second round of this year's elections. As information These are from the website Congresso em Foco.
In its appeal, the party states that it “never intended to cause any disruption to the Brazilian electoral process, much less to foment any type of ideological movement.” The party also affirms that “at no time” did it act with contempt for the Electoral Court or “procedural bad faith.”
The Liberal Party (PL) is questioning, among other things, the freezing of all its bank accounts, not just those used to manage party funds. According to the party's president, Valdemar Costa Neto, the measure could make the party's operation unfeasible.
The president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), Minister Alexandre de Moraes, condemned the party for litigation and bad faith, blocked the party's access to public campaign funds, and requested an investigation against the president of the PL (Liberal Party), Valdemar Costa Neto, for misuse of party resources.
In his decision, Moraes said that the PL's allegations about the ballot boxes are "unequivocally false." According to a report produced by the Court, the arguments of Bolsonaro's party "find no support in the facts" and are "misinterpretations that do not hold up against the actual functionalities of the electronic voting process."
