Political censure motion

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 00:57

With the return to political normalcy at the end of August, a motion of censure emerges as the central theme, with the outcome already known before it is officially announced. The motion is presented in a context where traditional opposition parties remain silent or face scarce media airtime.

The governing majority conducts behind-the-scenes work, pushing the issue into a less visible space. The national political spectacle thus returns with this motion of censure as the protagonist of the rentrée, in a scenario where the results appear to be decided from the start.

TSE rejects fine for Bolsonaro for using AI with father's image at convention

The Superior Electoral Court rejected by four votes to three the application of a fine to PL candidate for President, Bolsonaro, for using a deepfake video of former President Jair Bolsonaro's image during the convention that formalized his candidacy. The majority of ministers understood that there was no irregularity, as the content was displayed at a closed party event. The president of the TSE, Nunes Marques, considered that the internet broadcast does not transform the convention into electoral propaganda directed at the electorate, since support manifestations made at party conventions are directed at party members. The minister highlighted that legislation allows the disclosure of pre-candidacies and requests for political support, as long as there is no explicit vote request.

What happens after the PGR requests nullification of the investigation against Moraes?

The PGR requested the nullification of the investigation opened by the STF against Justice Alexandre de Moraes, arguing that the investigation order was determined without a request from the Public Ministry or initiative from the Federal Police, exceeding the limits of judicial action in the pre-prosecutorial phase. Attorney General Paulo Gonet also advocates for the annulment of the evidence obtained and the dismissal of the petition in the case. Justice André Mendonça will forward the request to the full STF for analysis, after having already stated he would bring the matter to the other justices. Mendonça stated that the facts presented by the Federal Police need to be examined in a technical and legal manner, in a public and in-person session.
