The Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji) affirmed that prior censorship is unacceptable in a democracy, especially when the target of journalistic coverage is a public person, whose mandate was granted by vote, that the decision makes it difficult to cover serious complaints against the senator. Flávio Bolsonaro, and that preventing vehicles and journalists from publishing reports is detrimental not only to the right to information, but also to the role of the press as an inspector of state activities.
In a social network, Flávio Bolsonaro celebrated the decision and said that he has nothing to hide.
