Extract from Chief Judge Morae's speech 08 Sept.2025.

A four-star general with great credibility in his career as Minister in Recife. And because, coincidentally with the presence of both, the defendant Jair Messias Bolsonaro says, on the one hand, that there is no credibility in the Electoral Court and relies on the figure of the Minister of Justice, and on the other hand, requests support from the Armed Forces, citing by name the defendant Augusto Pereira.

It is obvious that here there was already unity of purpose, both to discredit the Electoral Court and the Judiciary as a whole, and, on the other side, to head the Armed Forces, securing their support, and showing part of society that the Judiciary could be removed because this criminal group had the backing of the Armed Forces. The very same discourse, exactly the same, used by those who were arrested on January 8, 2023.

This is not someone at a club talking with a friend. This is the President of the Republic, on September 7th, Brazil’s Independence Day, inciting thousands of people against the Federal Supreme Court, against the Judiciary, and specifically against a Justice of the Supreme Court, the very one presiding over investigations involving the President himself. Or rather, this is truly shocking: his time is over.

Out, Alexandre de Moraes, stop being a scoundrel, stop oppressing the Brazilian people. To say to you all that any decision of Mr. Alexandre de Moraes will not be obeyed by this President—there is no doubt that the executive acts to extinguish the independence of the Judiciary, through grave threats, and it seems to me that any law student, even in the first year, would characterize what occurred as a serious threat. And likewise, the conception of not relinquishing power, of keeping his group in power, leaving only if imprisoned, dead, or victorious, as declared by Ogrão.”
