Motion approved symbolically in the capital of Minas Gerais is authored by councilor of the PL

The City Council of Belo Horizonte will send a motion of protest to the Minister of (Supreme Federal Court) Alexandre de Moraes declaring him persona non grata in the mining capital.

A, authored by the councilman (PL-MG), was approved on Monday (8.SET.2025). The symbolic vote caused an intense debate between councilors against and in favor of the proposal.

It is undeniable fact that Alexandre de Moraes was sanctioned by the magnitsky law; This makes it an outcast, not only in our city, but throughout our country”, Said Almeida in reference to the legal instrument to punish Moraes.

For the councilman, the STF minister is “a dictator”That would be looking for a“revenge”Regarding the acts of January 8, in Brasilia.

And this materiality is proved precisely with the sanction of magnitsky law, which is a law that punishes terrorists, dictators, criminals and people who fight human rights”Almeida added.

The motion against Moraes was the plenary after being challenged in August by PT councilors. This is that of the challenge (PDF – 129 KB).

(PT-MG), one of the signatories, said on Monday (8.Set) that the House Internal Regulations do not foresee “taxes like persona non grateful in a city”. For the petista councilman, this type of proposal should not be used by“political whim ” and as “instrument of persecution ” To authorities.

Think about voting, because this can even cause problems to the Belo Horizonte City Council”Patrus added.

(PSOL-MG) took advantage of the vote to make a defense of the Court’s performance. “What the STF is doing today is to guarantee democracy in our country”He said. Lourença added that Moraes would have already been wrong“several times”But that, at that moment, is being“an important person to ensure that our country has democracy”.

Support to Moraes

Another demonstration in relation to Moraes, this time of support, was rejected by the city councilors of the City Council. Proposed by (PT-MG), Motion No. 152 of 2025 intended to support the decision of the Minister of the (PL) STF.

The proposal had been challenged by Almeida and (PL), both from the former president’s party.

Opposition councilors tried to postpone the vote, but the maneuver was refused. Placed in the plenary vote, most councilors rejected the demonstration of support to Moraes.

The motions are a type of proposition through which the Belo Horizonte Chamber expresses support, regret or protest in relation to an event or act of public or social relevance.

Usually, they are sent without vote, but both texts were challenged and therefore had to be appreciated in plenary.
