Opposition presents new impeachment request against Minister Moraes

Parliamentarians accuse STF minister of abuse of authority, censorship, political persecution, and disrespect for parliamentary immunity. Five deputies from the PL (Liberal Party) filed a new impeachment request against Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court at the Senate on Tuesday (5th). The initiative is led by Deputy Hélio Lopes (PL-RJ), who engaged in a silent protest in front of the Supreme Court in July, and is supported by deputies Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ), Cabo Gilberto (PL-PB), Coronel Chrisóstomo (PL-RO), and Rodrigo da Zaeli (PL-MT). In the document, the deputies accuse Moraes of malpractice, abuse of authority, maladministration, censorship, and violation of constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and parliamentary immunity.
