TSE resumes trial that could lead to Bolsonaro’s ineligibility

Last Thursday (22), the first day of the trial, the TSE heard the arguments presented by the lawyers of the PDT, the party that filed the action, Bolsonaro's defense and the accusation of the Public Electoral Ministry (MPE).

The court judges the former president's conduct during a meeting with ambassadors, in July last year, at Palácio da Alvorada, to attack the electronic voting system. The legality of the meeting was questiongiven by the caption.

The trial will resume with the vote of the rapporteur, minister Benedito Gonçalves. After the rapporteur's position, the other ministers vote in the following sequence: Raul Araújo, Floriano de Azevedo Marques, André Ramos Tavares, Cármen Lúcia, Nunes Marques and the president of the Court, Alexandre de Moraes.

If a minister makes a request to suspend the trial, the deadline for returning the case is 30 days, renewable for another 30. With the July recess in the higher courts, the deadline will increase to 90 days.

If another session is necessary to judge the case, the TSE has already reserved the third session for Thursday (29).
