On 12 November, Federal Supreme Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the blocking of accounts linked to 43 people and companies suspected of being linked to anti-democratic acts that question the outcome of the presidential elections. The decision targets agents allegedly involved in the funding of illegal blockades made on highways and anti-democratic demonstrations in front of Military barracks. According to Moraes’ decision, the Federal Police must take statements from all targets within ten days.
Objective
According to the STF minister, the blocking of accounts is intended to curb the use of resources to finance illicit and anti-democratic acts.
Funding
Still in the decision, Alexandre de Moraes reinforced that the Federal Highway Police pointed out that businessmen would be financing anti-democratic acts by providing a complete structure with meals, bathrooms and tents, for example.
Risk of Further Instability in Lula’s Government
If businessmen really funded latest protests, next government can face a great challenge, since it will not have much space for mistakes. Political scandals and stumbles in strategic areas of the public administration may result in new waves of demonstrations quickly organized by already unhappy entrepreneurs.
