President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is receiving advice from close allies to publicly distance himself from Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court. The guidance is for Lula to "let go" of Moraes, meaning to no longer maintain explicit support for the minister.
The strategy suggested by the allies would be for Lula to publicly ask Moraes to request a leave from the STF to defend himself from recent accusations. The measure aims to protect the government from the political consequences of the investigations involving the minister.
The revelations that prompted this advice refer to the excessive closeness between Alexandre de Moraes and businessman Daniel Vorcaro, which began to be investigated after new evidence emerged. The article is presented as exclusive content for subscribers.
