The Federal Highway Police (PRF) failed to comply with the decision of the president of the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil, Alexandre de Moraes, who prevented inspections of public transport for voters on the day of the presidential elections. This led the court to demand explanations from the police director.
According to several Brazilian media, the authority has already carried out more than 500 operations of this type this Sunday. Folha de São Paulo reveals that the number is 70% higher than what happened in the first round, on October 2.
In this sense, the TSE demanded that the illegal inspections be stopped immediately and summoned the general director of that police, Silvinei Vasques, to give an explanation about what happened.
Silvinei Vasques had already used his personal Instagram account to appeal to Jair Bolsonaro’s vote, in which he posted a Brazilian flag and wrote: “Vote 22. Bolsonaro president.”
Called to the TSE, the director general promised to stop all bus inspection actions and comply with the decision of Alexandre de Moraes.
During election day, the Superior Electoral Court also used social networks to ask Brazilian citizens to denounce any type of electoral irregularity with the phrase: “Whoever prevents the population from voting commits an electoral crime.”
