Wednesday, August 31, 2023

Former Brazilian congressman Pablo Marçal was removed from office by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) on August 30, 2023.

The TSE found that Marçal had abused his political power by using his position to promote his personal interests and to attack his political opponents.

The decision to remove Marçal from office was unanimous, with all seven members of the TSE voting in favor of the measure.

• Marçal is a member of the far-right Brazilian Labor Party (PTB).
• He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2018.
• Marçal is a controversial figure who has been accused of racism, homophobia, and misogyny.

In a statement, Marçal said that he would appeal the TSE's decision to the Supreme Court.

Marçal's removal from office is a significant victory for Brazil's electoral authorities.

It sends a strong message that the TSE will not tolerate the abuse of political power by elected officials.
