oglobo11 September 2026 at 21:36

The Superior Electoral Court formed a majority on Friday to reject the registration of Pablo Marçal's candidacy, from PRTB, for President of the Republic. The vote is 4 to 0 for denying the request presented by the influencer.

The reporter of the case, Justice Estela Aranha, voted against the registration and was followed by justices Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva, Kassio Nunes Marques and André Mendonça. With four votes, there is already a majority in the seven-member plenary of the Court.

Pablo Marçal is already ineligible until 2032, which underlies the justices' decision to reject the candidacy.

Votes from justices Antônio Carlos Ferreira, Dias Toffoli and Floriano de Azevedo Marques are still pending. The trial takes place in the virtual plenary and ends on Friday.

Rui Rocha: "MPs make many flourishes; they're used to TikTok"

In an interview with Jornal Económico, Rui Rocha, former leader of Iniciativa Liberal, explained the methodology behind his standout performance at the parliamentary hearing of Minister Luís Neves, where he asked concrete and focused questions that exposed the minister's inability to respond to important matters. Rocha criticized the remaining MPs for using open and too "flowery" questions, a habit he attributes to their familiarity with social media like TikTok. He defended that a good parliamentary question should be concise, closed, and preceded by a clear position from the questioner, in order to force the interlocutor to rebut or, through silence, validate his thesis. He revealed he started preparation in August, with a small team, and regretted not having had time to ask the minister what he would do if he were made a defendant.
