Minister Kassio Nunes Marques declared himself disqualified from analyzing Alexandre de Moraes' future at the Supreme Federal Court. The decision was made because Nunes Marques considered that he does not feel comfortable participating in the trial, due to his position as president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
The relationship between the two ministers at the TSE is what motivated the disqualification. By holding the presidency of the court responsible for judging electoral matters, Nunes Marques understood that there would be a conflict of interest in participating in the analysis of the case related to Moraes.
With this decision, Nunes Marques stepped away from the trial that would discuss any future or permanence of Moraes in some function or position. The minister's attitude demonstrates concern for ethics and impartiality within the Judiciary branch.
