Pre-candidate for Planalto, the senator (-RJ) stated this Wednesday (22) that the former governor of Minas Gerais (Novo) is “another victim of the Judiciary’s militancy” and again accused ministers of the (Supreme Federal Court) of interfering in the electoral process to unbalance the dispute.
“My solidarity with Romeu Zema, who is yet another victim of this militancy that exists in the Judiciary, this judicial activism, which is very regrettable.

For me it is very clear that it is an attempt to create this channel, this prevention, especially from Alexandre de Moraes, so that, during the campaign, our opponents seek the direct shortcut to the First Panel of the STF, instead of calling the TSE [Tribunal Superior Eleitoral]”, said Flávio this Wednesday.
Last week, the senator had already done so shortly after learning that he was becoming the target of an investigation on suspicion of slander against the president (PT).
Responding to a request from the Federal Police, based on a post by the senator on
This Wednesday, Flávio said that the minister, president of the STF, should “let Brazilians, voters, choose who will be the next president of the Republic, without interference from the First Panel of their court”.
