The request of the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) André Mendonça in the judgment of appeals involving inquiries against President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), and the 1 million signatures mark reached by the pro-democracy letter organized by the Faculty of Law ( FD) from USP, are among the highlights of this Friday (12).
Mendonça interrupts appeals trials on inquiries against Bolsonaro
Minister André Mendonça, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), interrupted the appeals trials involving three investigations opened against President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
Mendonça asked for a view (that is, more time to analyze the cases) in each of the processes. With that, the trial is suspended and there is no new date for it to be resumed.
The investigation’s rapporteur, Minister Alexandre de Moraes, had voted against the appeals.
The cases were being analyzed by the virtual plenary of the STF (a type of judgment in which justices register their votes in the Supreme Court system, without a session for individual reading of each position). In the virtual plenary, there is no discussion, only the presentation of votes.
Letter for Democracy reaches one million signatures
The “Letter to Brazilians and Brazilians in Defense of the Democratic State of Law” reached one million signatures on Thursday night (11).
The mark was reached after its reading around 12:15 pm in Pátio das Arcadas, in Largo São Francisco, in the center of São Paulo.
The document, revealed by CNN was prepared by the USP Law School and had the support of professors, students, former ministers of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), bankers, presidential candidates and members of civil society.
He says that “instead of a civic party, we are going through a moment of immense danger to democratic normality, risk to the institutions of the Republic and insinuations of contempt for the results of the elections”.

Russia says Ukraine used US weapons against prisoners of war
On the morning of July 29, just hours after more than 50 Ukrainian POWs were killed in a detention center in the Donetsk region, a Russian reporter at the scene displayed the remains of a HIMARS, an advanced rocket system, made in the United States. .
It was the beginning of a Russian media offensive, with a message as cynical as it was brutal. Ukraine, according to Moscow’s version of events, killed its own soldiers with a HIMARS rocket attack because it didn’t want them to confess to war crimes and to discourage other soldiers from surrendering.
A high-ranking official of the Russian-backed and self-declared People’s Republic of Donetsk (DPR), Eduard Basurin, stated that “after the Ukrainian prisoners of war started talking about the crimes they committed on the orders of the Ukrainian political authorities, an explosion hit here”.
