Defense Minister, General Paulo Sergio Nogueirarequested a “very urgent” agenda to observe the source code room of the electronic ballot boxes in the TSE.
The TSE, whose head is the judge Edson Fachinreported that the aforementioned code is open to inspection by various institutions since October 2021 and agreed that the agenda with Defense experts will take place this Wednesday morning.
Jair Bolsonaro reiterated on Tuesday his questioning of the electronic ballot boxes and described the judge as “criminal” Robert Barrosoformer head of the TSE, for opposing the restoration in Brazil of suffrage through paper tickets.
The ultra-conservative president who, according to his advisers, fears going to jail if he loses in the elections, also unsuccessfully tried to have the military oversee the counting of the elections.
Jair Bolsonaro also questions the presence of foreign observers in the elections of October 2, in which he will seek his re-election and in which his rival, the former president Lula da Silva is favorite, according to the polls.
Meanwhile, Judge Fachin declared on Tuesday night that “democracy is episodically affected by harmful spirits” when announcing an agreement so that observers of the Inter-American Union of Electoral Organizations (Uniore) participate in the elections.
Uniore is “a very high organization for observing and strengthening democracy in our region,” Fachin stressed.
