Rebeca Ramagem, candidate for federal deputy by the PL, celebrated on social media the majority formed in favor of her candidacy at the Regional Electoral Court of Rio de Janeiro (TRE-RJ). She stated she was "winning, one day at a time," spoke of "persecution," and asked for votes from her followers, asking them to transform "indignation into votes."
The rapporteur of the case, Judge Paulo Cesar Salomão Filho, voted against the registration of the candidacy. He stated that allowing the candidacy would be a "slap in the face of the Judiciary," considering Alexandre Ramagem's participation in his wife's campaign.
Alexandre Ramagem is a former director of Abin and was convicted to 16 years in prison for the coup plot. He is a fugitive in the United States, where Rebeca Ramagem is also located, awaiting the final judgment of the TRE regarding her candidacy registration.
