For this group, the focus should be on amnesty for the January 8 protesters and freedom for the former president.
On Friday (27), asked if “Out, Toffoli” is the agenda for the demonstration, the senator, pre-candidate for the Presidency, replied: “The agenda was set by Nikolas, it is public. It is ‘Out, Lula’, ‘Out with Supreme Court ministers’. Against widespread corruption, the moral crisis that the country is experiencing. Each one will set their own tone.”
Flávio was advised not to politically exploit the flag of Toffoli’s removal.
Asked if he is in favor of impeaching the minister, the senator replied that he is in favor of removing anyone who has committed crimes. “I sign everyone’s impeachment, I sign CPI for everything. I’m in favor [do impeachment] of any minister who has committed a crime. But things aren’t going well,” he said.
The protest will start at 2pm and will have an electric trio, parked on the corner of the avenue and Peixoto Gomide street. According to the state deputy, one of the organizers, the cost of the demonstration will be approximately R$ 130 thousand, raised through a “fundraiser”.

Over the past weekend, allies and supporters of Eduardo and Nikolas.
The annoyance is old. Complaints are frequent about an alleged attempt by Nikolas to separate himself from Bolsonaro and prioritize his own engagement and political growth — which the deputy’s allies summarize as a “pain in the neck” and a dispute for protagonism.

Last week, a PL deputy told the reporter that he didn’t know whether he would get on the electric trio during Sunday’s demonstration, considering that the weather was bad.
