Brazil: STF Internal Conflict Over Electoral Content Moderation Escalates
Internal conflict within Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) and between the STF and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is escalating, primarily driven by Justice Flávio Dino's decisions regarding electoral content moderation, particularly concerning the 'Nossa Senhora Aparecida' event. These actions have led to counter-rulings, formal complaints, and calls for plenary review, indicating significant judicial overreach concerns and potential electoral interference. The situation's full implications for judicial independence and the 2026 elections remain unclear.
