Meio Independente reported that allies of Flávio, the PL presidential candidate, rejected the impeachment of Nunes Marques as a condition to remove Alexandre de Moraes. According to the outlet, Flávio's party members considered it "absurd" and a "false equivalence" to associate the minister with the Master Case. Insiders said behind the scenes that Nunes Marques had not voted in the Supreme Court in favor of Vorcaro's interests and that, with the magistrate's vote, Vorcaro remained in prison. #Impeachment #Política #STF (translated)

According to her, he confronted Lula, criticized the Supreme Federal Court, and presented government proposals.

When asked about Kassio Nunes Marques, nominated by Jair Bolsonaro and mentioned in messages from Daniel Vorcaro, Flávio stated that the law should apply to everyone. He invoked Law 1.079, advocated for the impeachment of ministers, and accused Moraes of acting as Lula's political strategist in Brasília. In the area of security, Flávio announced that he intended to gather commanders of the Armed Forces and police chiefs in January to combat drug trafficking. He also stated that he would seek to classify Comando Vermelho, PCC, and militias as narcoterrorist organizations, strengthen surveillance at the Port of Santos and borders, including the Amazon, and join the Shield of the Americas to share intelligence information. Regarding the outcome of the elections, he said he would respect it. Flávio also stated that the first round indicated a desire for change and criticized Lula's government for violence against women, family indebtedness, wildfires, and business closures. At the end of the interview, according to Michelin, he committed to not promising what he could not fulfill, to restore purchasing power, and to return safety to the streets. Michelin stated that Flávio declared himself ready for the Presidency and described his candidacy as a project from God. She also wrote that the debate between him and Lula was scheduled for October 18 on TV Bandeirantes, presenting the contest as a confrontation between two projects for the country. #Brasil #Política #Eleições2023 (translated)

One distinctive feature of Trump's second term is that it's become impossible to differentiate when he's being stupid and when he's being mendacious. But on this it hardly even matters—his conduct on Ukraine in the last week alone would be grounds for impeachment in any functioning political system.

Roman Giertych criticized Karol Nawrocki for announcing that Maciej Berek is not a judge. He believed that such a position showed how Nawrocki and his surroundings understood presidential powers: as the right to ultimately approve individuals appointed to positions or taking an oath. Giertych assessed that the consolidation of such an interpretation could lead to an actual dictatorship or absolute monarchy. He argued that the president could then refuse to sign a law despite a veto override or appoint a prime minister chosen by the Sejm. He reminded that according to the Constitution, the president must sign the law within 7 days of the veto override, and Article 154 provides for the appointment of a prime minister elected by the Sejm and ministers at his request. He also pointed out that a two-thirds majority is needed for impeachment. As a hypothetical example, he cited a situation in which, after the victory of the Civic Coalition and its majority, Mateusz Morawiecki would become prime minister, and Nawrocki would later refuse to appoint Donald Tusk chosen by the Sejm. Giertych also claimed that according to such an interpretation, judges, officers, generals, and ambassadors could not be appointed or professorships, citizenship, or honors granted without the president's consent. He defined the dispute surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal as a conflict over whether after the 2027 elections the government will designate the Sejm or Nawrocki. He warned the president that the interpretation he was pushing would mean changing the Constitution without following proper procedures and could lead to a coup against the Constitutional Tribunal and create grounds for undermining the government. He added that who will govern after 2027 will be decided by Poles in the general elections in the fall of next year. According to Giertych, Nawrocki's stance could exacerbate social relations and even lead to violence, for which the president would bear responsibility. #Polska #Konstytucja #Demokracja (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that the STF was investigating itself under rules defined by the Court itself, requiring the Federal Police to describe facts without issuing a value judgment and submitting the inquiries to the plenary, which would include the ministers mentioned. He said that when investigations turned to the court, the process slowed down, confidentiality was at the discretion of the ministers, and accountability became practically impossible. Constantino also stated that the Constitution did not provide a clear exit if several ministers were investigated or impeded. According to him, while the Master case exposed connections between bankers and power, the court protected its own image and its members. He said that the opposition advocated for impeachment and a CPMI but that the judicial system remained shielded, pointing out Lula's exit as the first step to change this situation. #STF #AtivismoJudicial #Impeachment (translated)

"He is a vegan in Texas, and as a vegan in Texas, you won't get elected." Talarico used this message when Republicans accused him of being meatless. "He is a vegan in Texas, and as a vegan in Texas, you won't get elected," Trump said. At the party convention in August, Trump called Paxton the "best Attorney General in the United States." Paxton and Trump referred to the impeachment proceedings at the time as a "politically motivated hoax," while other Republicans mourned a decline in values within the party. #Talarico2026 #TexasWahlen #Demokraten (translated)
