A decisão do Ministro Nunes Marques suspendendo a pesquisa da AtlasIntel não configura censura, porque aquilo não é uma pesquisa.
Nitidamente, aquele formato de “pesquisa” foi realizado para induzir e manipular o eleitor. Pesquisa em ano eleitoral deve ser a mais isenta possível para ser válida e não pode estimular a escolha do entrevistado com base em fatos concretos.
Eu sou contra a existência de institutos que recebem recursos de partidos políticos em ano eleitoral. As pesquisas estão cada vez mais sendo manipuladas de acordo com o interesse do contratante.
Um dia vou propor, inclusive, que o induzimento ao voto por meio de pesquisas configure crime.
Decisão acertadíssima do Min. Nunes Marques.
Here we go again. In 2022, Alexandre de Moraes used emergency anti-disinformation powers to police online political speech during the decisive final stretch of the election to ensure @LulaOficial could get elected. Even with that exponential advantage, Lula barely managed to come out ahead by 1% in official results making the 2022 margin the closest Brazilian presidential election result to date.
Lula then promptly tried to codify into law the Moraes censorship tools that helped secure his election in 2022, but the Brazilian Congress flatly refused to bless an even broader version of that censorship architecture.
Now, understanding the Brazilian Congress would never pass such a repugnant censorship package, Lula is moving to impose it by presidential decree four months before the 2026 election.
When speech rules cannot pass democratically and are desperately imposed by signature of the guy sinking in the polls, it raises a legitimate question about whether elections in such circumstances can credibly be called free and fair.
