Garcia Pereira considered that a Constitutional Court judge tried to "prepare public opinion" for a position she defends regarding the dissolution of the Chega party. The official classified this attitude as something "of enormous ethical gravity".
According to Garcia Pereira, this attempt to prepare public opinion shows that "an attempt is being made to create public opinion favorable to a decision that is deeply erroneous". The comment suggests that the judge may be anticipating or conditioning a future judicial decision regarding the Chega party.
Garcia Pereira's position arises in the context of a possible decision by the Constitutional Court on the legality or dissolution of Chega. The judge in question allegedly made public statements that, for Garcia Pereira, reveal a bias that compromises the impartiality expected of a court member.
The case raises questions about the impartiality of Constitutional Court members and about the role that public opinions expressed by judges can have in the judicial process. Garcia Pereira argues that this type of behavior is incompatible with the function of a constitutional judge.
