Garcia Pereira accuses Constitutional Court judge of violating legal duties by speaking about request for dissolution of Chega

Lawyer Garcia Pereira accused a judge of the Constitutional Court of violating legal duties by pronouncing herself on a request for dissolution of the Chega party. The position was considered "unacceptable" by Garcia Pereira, who argues that a member of a higher court should not pronounce herself on a matter that may be decided by that body. The case arises in the context of a request for dissolution of the Chega party, whose decision may fall to the Constitutional Court itself. The issue raises a debate about impartiality and the ethical and legal limits that should govern members of higher courts when they pronounce on cases that may be analyzed by their own institutions.
