Jones Manoel stated that Minister Kassio Nunes Marques, from the TSE, determined, after a request from Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign, the suspension of the circulation of the newspaper Petróleo dos Brasileiros, produced by Sindipetro Unificado. According to Manoel, the decision interrupted the distribution of printed copies and ordered the removal of the digital version, which provided analyses on Petrobras, privatizations, labor rights, and political projects in dispute in the 2026 elections. Manoel condemned what he classified as an attempt at censorship and said that the measure indicated what an eventual management of Flávio Bolsonaro would be like. He also stated that the candidate had met with the leadership of Globo before the hearing. He expressed solidarity with the workers of the union and defended freedom of the press, the right to information, and union autonomy. #LiberdadeDeImprensa #Sindicato #Censura (translated)
