Brazilian Judge Orders X to Remove Nikolas Ferreira Post Calling PT 'Party of Traffickers'

The ruling treats the remark as non-legislative speech, signaling judicial limits on parliamentary immunity for posts on social networks.

Overview

  • The 5th Civil Court of Brasília ordered X to delete the content within 48 hours counted from formal notification.
  • Judge Wagner Pessoa Vieira found the statement to be a personal opinion unrelated to legislative duties, so immunity does not apply.
  • The measure is a temporary injunction in a PT lawsuit that also seeks moral damages for alleged reputational harm.
  • According to GloboNews, this is the first court decision arising from the PT’s broader filings against other pro-Bolsonaro figures.
  • As of Monday evening, the post remained online with roughly 6,000 reposts and 3,000 replies.
