Nunes Marques releases action and judgment on Bolsonaro deputy will be this Tuesday

The lawsuit that suspended the cancellation of the mandate of state deputy Fernando Francischini (União Brasil-PR) will be judged this Tuesday (7). Minister Nunes Marques, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), released the case for judgment in the Second Panel.

Although the session in the virtual plenary on the same case is officially maintained, the analysis of the merits of the process in the Second Panel can make, in practice, the extraordinary judgment lose its object.

Ministers of the Supreme Court heard by the CNN in a reserved character, they said that the Second Panel will analyze the merits of the action – that is, the magistrates will or will not endorse the decision given by Nunes Marques last week.

The 2nd Panel of the STF is composed of ministers Nunes Marques, Gilmar Mendes, Edson Fachin, Ricardo Lewandowski and André Mendonça.
Francischini was impeached in 2021 by the plenary of the Superior Electoral Court for disseminating disinformation. The indictment showed that the congressman released a video with false news about fraud in electronic voting machines during the 2018 elections.

The deputy was one of the main organizers of Bolsonaro’s campaign that year. When the TSE impeached him, his case was seen as an example in the fight against fake news.
