His appointment as head of the Superior Electoral Court takes place in the midst of the attacks that President Bolsonaro has been dedicating in the last year against that court, who sued him last month before the Supreme Federal Court (STF) for the “unjustified” legal actions he has taken against him, in the case of the spread of false news.
After his appointment, De Moraes has remarked that Brazilian voters “do not deserve the proliferation of hate speech, of fraudulent news” and has advanced that will not tolerate “that personal and digital militias” attack democracy in Brazil”.
The new president of the TSE has promised “efficiency, security, transparency and respect for popular sovereignty” a few months before the next general elections in Brazil scheduled for October and about which Bolsonaro has tried to sow doubts by questioning the impartiality of the court and the voting machines.
“With hunger hitting more than 33 million Brazilian men and women, our voters deserve hope, hope in the proposals and serious projects of all the candidates. What they do not deserve is the proliferation of hate speech, fraudulent news and of the criminal attempt to co-opt through digital militias,” he asserted, Europa Press reported.
According to an investigation by the Federal Police, the so-called digital militias would have acted systematically in favor of Bolsonaro, spreading false information and attacking State institutions.
