Terrible news. But not at all surprising. The judicial system of Brazil, at its highest level, has been deeply corrupted away from supporting liberal values and its constitution. It has instead become politically biased, and heavily supports surveillance and censorship. This has been evident in the actions of Alexandre de Moraes, who is famous from his battle with Twitter/X over censorship, but unfortunately now its the culture of the entire judiciary system and politicians at the highest levels including Lula.

Lula wants to prevent another Bolsonaro.
