Lula will seek distance from Moraes, while other presidential candidates criticize Supreme Court minister

President Lula will try to distance himself from Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF, after revelations about alleged instructions that the magistrate would have given to former banker Daniel Vorcaro, of Banco Master, during the financial crisis of the institution. According to allies, Lula will avoid speaking publicly about the subject so as not to generate political wear while seeking his fourth term, and should adopt the discourse that the STF is an independent power. In a different posture, presidential candidates Flávio Bolsonaro, Romeu Zema and Augusto Cury publicly criticized Moraes after a Federal Police report showed alleged exchanges of messages between the banker and the minister during a period of 13 days at the peak of the Banco Master crisis.
