Trial of Moraes' conduct moves campaigns and opposition tries to link Lula to the minister

cbn15 September 2026 at 13:27

The trial this Tuesday (15) at the Supreme Federal Court that will decide the future of Minister Alexandre de Moraes is moving political campaigns and generating clashes between government and opposition. The opposition tries to link President Lula's image to Minister Alexandre de Moraes.

The coordinator of Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign, Senator Rogerio Marinho, declared that the two maintain an old relationship of support and coordination. Marinho accused the president of trying to distance himself from the minister at this moment, stating that the bond between them is "public and notorious."

Deputy Bia Kicis moves allies to follow the trial live and defended the impeachment of Alexandre de Moraes. "Today, Brazil will discover if the harsh law, which persecuted good people so easily, also applies to those inside, at the highest echelons of power. I, Bia Kicis, am in favor of the impeachment of Alexandre de Moraes."

Lula's campaign, meanwhile, adopts an institutional tone during the crisis.

Why this matters

This trial is significant because it can directly affect the power balance at the STF and has implications for political tensions between government and opposition. Readers are impacted by potentially representing a precedent on judicial accountability of ministers and influencing the Brazilian political landscape. The opposition's attempt to link Lula to Moraes shows how the case is being instrumentalized in political campaigns.
