Federal Deputy Hélio Lopes (PL-RJ) and Colonel Chrisóstomo (PL-RO), allies of former President Jair Bolsonaro, ended at dawn on Saturday (26), a camp that had set up at the Three Powers Square in Brasilia. Removal occurred after a of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which determined the vacancy of the place . Lopes had taken a tent to the square and announced that he would perform a “strike of silence” as a protest against precautionary measures imposed by the STF on Bolsonaro.
The order of Minister Moraes pointed to the possibility of arrest in the act for “resistance or disobedience to the act of public authority” if the deputy and other protesters insisted on remaining in place. The decision was issued in response to the protest, which was considered an opposition to public order. The deputy’s action took place in a context of mobilization by Bolsonaro supporters, who last week summoned demonstrations in defense of the former president.
