Target of the Supreme Court investigations that investigate the organization and financing of anti-democratic acts and the filming of false news, crimes and threats against authorities, the deputy Daniel Silveira (PSL-RJ) declared, through a video published on his social networks, this Wednesday (18), having ‘requested the nullity’ of the 2020 Elections and presented before the Attorney General’s Office a criminal complaint for alleged ‘facts that took away equity from the electoral process’. However, the MP did not mention evidence about the charges.

Along with the congressman were some supporters, including candidates who failed to be elected in these elections. Elitusalem Freitas (PSC), councilor of Rio de Janeiro, a candidate who could not be reelected, also spoke in favor of the nullity of the elections. “We came here to seek the truth. Here is not the cry of those who won or lost the elections. Is not that. It is impossible for a candidate who cast 8,500 votes in the capital (Rio de Janeiro) in the last elections, like us, to grow the position, monitor the position and his voter, dropped to 2,335 votes, Freitas complained.

The position of Daniel and Elitusalem is in line with that of President Jair Bolsonaro, who questioned the reliability of the Brazilian electoral system, this time after some of your candidates sponsored have been successful in municipal elections.
