The majority of ministers considered that the publication went beyond the limits of the political dispute by establishing a link between Lula and criminal organizations. The trial was held in the virtual plenary and ended with five votes to withdraw the material and two to maintain it.
The action reached the TSE on the initiative of the Brazilian Federation of Hope, made up of PT, PCdoB and PV. The acronyms argued that the content presented an unfounded association between the president and the two factions and characterized early electoral propaganda.
On July 26, the president of the TSE, Nunes Marques, had rejected the request to immediately remove the video. In the final analysis, he was among the two ministers who voted against the removal.
In addition to Nunes Marques, André Mendonça also took a stand for the permanence of the content. Estela Aranha, Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva, Dias Toffoli, Floriano de Azevedo Marques and Antonio Carlos Ferreira voted to withdraw.
Another request from Mendonça is left out of analysis
The trial also involved a controversy over the handling of the case. André Mendonça had requested that records related to the 8th National Congress of the Brazilian Federation of Hope and the launch of Lula's Spokespersons project be sent to the court.
The request, however, was not considered by the plenary. Before that, the ministers concluded that the distribution of the process had occurred inappropriately and determined its redistribution.
At this point, there was a new division among the members of the Court. Antonio Carlos Ferreira, Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva, Floriano de Azevedo Marques, Estela Aranha and Nunes Marques differed from Mendonça and Dias Toffoli.
