Everyone was taken by surprise this morning, when Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF, suspended the appointment of Alexandre Ramagem to general directorate of the Federal Police made the day before by Bolsonaro (no party). The inauguration was scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon (29).

The Federal Supreme Court responded to a request from the PDT, which filed a writ of mandamus with the STF alleging “abuse of power due to misuse of purpose” with the appointment of the delegate to the PF.

Ramagem is a friend of the Bolsonaro clan who was general director of Abin (Brazilian Intelligence Agency), motivated a judicial offensive to block it, considering the interests of the president's family and allies in Federal Police investigations.

Against the STF's decision, Bolsonaro will react.

Last Saturday (25), one of the country's main media outlets, Folha de São Paulo, showed that an investigation led by the STF (Supreme Federal Court), with the participation of PF teams, has evidence of Carlos' involvement in a scheme of spreading fake news.​

The STF's decision is causing a lot of outrage from Bolsonaro's supporters, as can be seen on social media. In an official note, Moraes stated:

​”I grant the injunction to suspend the effectiveness of the [appointment] decree with regard to the appointment and inauguration of Alexandre Ramagem Rodrigues to the position of Director General of the Federal Police”, Opinion supported by the Federal Supreme Court.

Still regarding his decision, Moraes stated that there was “non-compliance with the constitutional principles of impersonality, morality and public interest”. He also noted that, “in a republican system, there is no absolute or unlimited power, because it would be a negation of the Rule of Law itself.”

But after all, what does Bolsonaro say after this decision?

At the time this article was being edited, Bolsonaro has not yet commented on the judiciary's veto, everything indicates that we will have another busy week.
