Declaration occurs one day after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio states that ‘there is a great possibility’ that Minister Alexandre de Moraes is the target of sanction by Donald Trump’s government
The minister, from, used his profile in the X (former Twitter) to defend the regulation of digital platforms in Brazil. The Dean of the Court said, on Thursday (22), that, as well as regulate social networks, establish “parameters for odious discourses” constitute the basis of national sovereignty for any contemporary nation. In a series of publications, Gilmar also said that “it cannot be admitted that foreign agents surround the exercise of domestic jurisdiction in the protection of constitutional guarantees.” “Normative autonomy represents imperative of democratic self -determination,” he said. Gilmar’s statement occurs a day after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio states that “there is a great possibility” that Minister Alexandre de Moraes was sanctioned by Donald Trump’s government. The case was not cited directly by the dean in the publications.
Moraes is accused by American parliamentarians of “pursuing opposition, including journalists and ordinary citizens”, both in Brazil and in the United States. The reaction occurs in the decisions of Alexandre de Moraes for the removal of content and air profiles by digital platforms, through the spread of hatred and misinformation discourse. Gilmar also stated that “echo cameras and extremist demonstrations”, lived by Brazil in recent years, “corrode the republican fundamentals”. For the minister, each state must guarantee the democratic precepts based on its own legislation. The publication was also carried out at the time the subject of regulation is discussed again by the Executive.
