TSE Schedules 24-Hour Virtual Vote on 28 Election Injunctions
The compressed referenda will decide whether to uphold orders that remove social posts and a PL challenge over Pix statements by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva alongside Finance Minister Dario Durigan.
Overview
- TSE president Kassio Nunes Marques set a 24-hour virtual plenary for Thursday to collect votes from all seven ministers on 28 individual liminares issued by three election judges.
- One high-profile item is a PL representation asking the court to remove videos of Lula and Durigan and to bar them from repeating claims linking Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to actions against the Pix payments system; Nunes Marques denied urgent relief and sent that decision for referendo.
- A liminar granted on June 22 by Minister Estela Aranha ordering the immediate removal of social-media posts that tied Flávio Bolsonaro to the Federal Police 'Carne e Unha' probe, organized crime and the Comando Vermelho is included among the cases to be confirmed or overturned.
- Several ministers privately questioned whether batching so many emergency orders into a single 24-hour referenda will be workable, noting heavy workload, limited time to review full records and a likelihood that many initial votes will simply be confirmed.
- The rulings will have immediate effects on campaign messaging, platform takedowns and public debate because liminares can force content removal quickly while the collective referendo will shape how the court balances electoral speech and fast judicial intervention.
