Far-right Brazilian President Bolsonaro supports Trump's sanctions against Brazil and aims to dismiss Alexandre de Moraes from the Supreme Court.
Protesters are demanding the Brazilian Senate to judge and potentially remove Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is accused of abuse of power. The calls come amidst allegations that de Moraes has suppressed freedom of expression, targeted political opponents, and engaged in politically motivated prosecutions, notably against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The U.S. government has also imposed sanctions on de Moraes and Brazilian judicial officials, citing these abuses and repressive actions that threaten free speech and democratic processes.
The protesters' demand is linked to a proposed 50% tariff on Brazilian products entering the United States. This tariff, announced by former President Donald Trump, is a response to Brazil’s judicial repression and actions that violate U.S. policies on free speech, democracy, and fundamental rights. The tariff and other sanctions are also related to de Moraes’ demands for online censorship affecting U.S.-based social media platforms.
The podcast "In this daily podcast," hosted by Paulo Baldaia, provides analysis of these news events and more. The show airs from Monday to Friday and features journalists from the Expresso editorial team, including international correspondents and commentators. While the podcast discusses a wide range of news, it does not directly pertain to the group's actions concerning Alexandre de Moraes, the Brazilian Supreme Court, or international trade.
The group's actions, however, have significant implications for international trade between Brazil and the United States. The proposed tariff, if implemented, could impact the price and availability of Brazilian goods in the U.S. market.
