In an act on Paulista Avenue on Sunday, Tarcísio attacked the STF, called Moraes dictator and defended a “wide and unrestricted” amnesty, in front of an estimated audience in 42,000 people. “No one can handle the tyranny of a minister like Moraes,” said Tarcisio.
In the act, the governor of São Paulo pressed the mayor (Republicans-PB), to guide the amnesty project to the convicts of the scammer attacks of 8 January 2023 and said that the Supreme Court judges “a crime that did not exist”.
The speech reverberated badly among the ministers of the Supreme. The, released a note that “what Brazil really can no longer stand are the successive attempts to blow.”
“It is essential to reaffirm: Crimes against the Democratic Rule of Law are unsustible of forgiveness,” he said. He said that the court operates “in daylight” and that in the dictatorship there was “a world of shadows.”

The evaluation of the members of the first class is that the vote of Luiz Fux – a minister who has a counterpoint to Moraes and of greater flexibility in relation to the defendants involved in scammer acts – should also be long.
In addition to Bolsonaro, Moraes and the other members of the class will also deal with the accusations involving the other seven defendants of the central core of the coup attempt after Bolsonaro’s defeat to (PT) in 2022.
If Moraes’s vote is not closed on Tuesday, he will continue reading on Wednesday (10) in the morning. The minister’s desire is that the trial will be completed later this week, and that the pace of the sessions will not be broken before the closing of the case.
At the request of Moraes, the president of the first class, Cristiano Zanin, added an extra day of sessions.

In addition, the session on Thursday (Superior Electoral Court), which takes place at 10am, will be chaired by Minister Kassio Nunes Marques, who is not part of the first class of the Supreme. The president of the Electoral Court, Cármen Lúcia, intends to follow only the trial of the coup plot.
Last week, Moraes and the Attorney General of the Republic, defended punishments for the coup plot.
In an unexpected statement, Moraes broke the pattern of starting trial by reading the report, which is a descriptive summary of the process, and said that the country’s pacification cannot be reached with impunity, as well as sending messages against Donald Trump’s fees and Eduardo Bolsonaro’s joints in the US.
Moraes also stated that the court judges the case without interference and ignores attempts to obstruction.
“This is the role of the Federal Supreme Court: judging impartially and applying justice to each of the concrete cases, regardless of threats or coercions, ignoring internal or external pressures,” he said.
