[00:00:00] to vote or to the polling station to make
[00:00:04] the justification, this can be done through
[00:00:06] the e-title, in relation to our program, your vote
[00:00:10] matters, we already have records that more
[00:00:13] than 2,000 voters with reduced
[00:00:17] mobility, were
[00:00:19] transported to polling stations and
[00:00:23] more than 8,000
[00:00:25] voters
[00:00:27] were transported from remote communities.
[00:00:31] speed in its Indigenous, quilombolas, among
[00:00:33] others.
[00:00:36] In relation to our ballot boxes,
[00:00:39] 1121 ballot boxes replaced,
[00:00:43] making a total of
[00:00:46] 0.2%. There is no manual voting in the
[00:00:49] country at this moment. Regarding
[00:00:53] misinformation.
[00:00:56] According to Sciad's notes, there were 453
[00:01:00] until
[00:01:02] 1 pm, since August 16th there were
[00:01:06] approximately 2,800
[00:01:08] occurrences, there is no record of deep fake
[00:01:11] related to presidential candidates that
[00:01:14] have gained relevance on
[00:01:16] social media, what was noticed is
[00:01:19] that many news circulating
[00:01:22] today were already
[00:01:26] known and already detected by the Court during the
[00:01:30] election period, so very little
[00:01:32] new content was detected today.
[00:01:36] Regarding the climate
[00:01:37] room,
[00:01:42] this was perhaps a
[00:01:44] sure step that the electoral
[00:01:47] justice
[00:01:49] eh
[00:01:51] materialized and the effects of El Niño, it's true,
[00:01:55] could be much worse than what is happening today, the
[00:01:59] forecasts are that the drought in the northern region, the
[00:02:02] floods in the southern region could
[00:02:04] really cause a displacement of polling
[00:02:08] stations
[00:02:09] and
[00:02:12] hinder the movement of voters to the polls,
[00:02:16] perhaps the state with the greatest difficulty was the state of
[00:02:19] Paraná, in relation, due to the
[00:02:23] heavy rains that occurred
[00:02:26] this morning and strong winds and...
[00:02:30] we see a lot of problems with electricity supply,
[00:02:33] so we started the day with almost
[00:02:36] 140 cities in the state of Paraná without electricity,
[00:02:40] today and at this
[00:02:43] moment we have approximately
[00:02:46] 94 cities with energy problems, this does not mean they are without
[00:02:49] energy or energy fluctuation
[00:02:52] or lack of energy, but what matters
[00:02:55] to convey to you, ladies and gentlemen, is
[00:02:59] that... regarding the polling stations,
[00:03:02] everything is functioning
[00:03:05] normally, all ballot boxes are
[00:03:08] working, we have generators
[00:03:11] and batteries sufficient to
[00:03:15] complete the entire voting process of
[00:03:18] transmission.
[00:03:27] Regarding arrests and apprehensions. by security
[00:03:31] agencies, 59 people were
[00:03:34] arrested on suspicion of electoral
[00:03:37] crime, of which 25 were
[00:03:40] caught in the act.
[00:03:43] electoral crimes, in addition to More than 380,000
[00:03:46] in cash were seized today and
[00:03:49] total more than 30 million reais in cash
[00:03:53] since January. These are the
[00:03:56] partial results, so far.
[00:04:00] I should speak to you again after
[00:04:03] the
[00:04:04] vote.
[00:04:10] Hello, we're going to start the questions, I'd like to call journalist Janaína
[00:04:13] Camelo from CNN, please, to start.
[00:04:19] receive votes, it
[00:04:27] Minister, good, good afternoon, good afternoon. "I would like
[00:04:30] to ask you about the possibility of judicialization
[00:04:34] after the elections. Do you fear that there may be this scenario
[00:04:38] of judicialization after the elections, that is, after the
[00:04:41] first round, if the result does not go to the second round, even if there is a
[00:04:45] result after the first round, in the case of the President
[00:04:48] of the Republic, do you fear that there is any margin for the
[00:04:52] defeated candidate to
[00:04:55] challenge the results of the polls and if that
[00:04:58] happens, do you think it could increase tensions between the
[00:05:02] Superior Electoral Court and the Federal Supreme
[00:05:05] Court? Thank you. Well, thank you very much for
[00:05:08] the question, eh, there is a tradition
[00:05:12] in Brazilian justice of judicialization, so
[00:05:15] it would be
[00:05:17] eh to expect that candidates, not only for the presidency of the republic, but also
[00:05:21] state and federal deputies,
[00:05:24] governors, knock on the doors of justice with their
[00:05:28] questions, right? What the electoral
[00:05:31] justice
[00:05:33] eh,
[00:05:38] expects, which usually happens, are cases
[00:05:41] related to... abuse of political power, abuse of economic power, but it's good to
[00:05:45] say that in relation to the
[00:05:49] electronic voting system, the conduct of the electoral
[00:05:52] justice,
[00:05:57] eh, the TSE equipped itself
[00:06:01] in such a way, inviting even
[00:06:04] civil society, governmental bodies, all this
[00:06:07] structure set up by the
[00:06:10] TSE, counts on agencies such as Ana,
[00:06:14] Nel, ONS, ABIN,
[00:06:17] Federal Highway Police, Federal Police
[00:06:20] and countless other institutions that not only
[00:06:24] accompany, they participate
[00:06:26] in the entire electoral process,
[00:06:29] so even if it is a right to question
[00:06:32] the elections, it is good to separate, one thing is
[00:06:36] to question the result and due to many factors that can
[00:06:40] be questioned, but our electoral system we are quite
[00:06:44] confident that so far there is no still
[00:06:47] no we have no complaints
[00:06:51] yet, we are almost
[00:06:54] 3 hours from the end
[00:06:57] of the voting and everything has been functioning with the
[00:07:00] greatest normality and with the greatest
[00:07:03] possible transparency
[00:07:06] eh.
[00:07:12] I would prefer
[00:07:15] not to comment because if there is judicialization,
[00:07:18] magistrates are not even allowed to
[00:07:21] make comments, so eh let's first
[00:07:25] conclude this stage of today
[00:07:27] which is to conclude the
[00:07:30] voting,
[00:07:33] then immediately move to the transmission phase and then
[00:07:37] the tabulation phase, only after
[00:07:40] we conclude all these stages of the
[00:07:44] electoral process will we
[00:07:47] be here concluding this
[00:07:50] mission. Luiz Felipe Barbieri from TV
[00:07:53] Globo.
[00:07:58] Good afternoon President. Good
[00:08:00] afternoon. Do you have any news, any
[00:08:04] problem that is hindering the arrival of voters to the polls, besides this energy
[00:08:07] issue, is everything running within the expected? And
[00:08:11] about the... cell phone in the booths, I'd like you to
[00:08:14] reinforce, right, what is the electoral justice's guidance regarding
[00:08:18] this and how the electoral justice should proceed from
[00:08:22] now on, is it a case of investigation, is it a case of electoral crime, I'd like you to talk a bit
[00:08:25] about that, thank you.
[00:08:28] Well, regarding the first question, which is the arrival of
[00:08:31] voters, we did a preventive
[00:08:34] work that was very
[00:08:37] successful, especially in the northern region of the country, the
[00:08:40] national water and sanitation agency also helped us
[00:08:44] to make a mapping and I also have to commend the work of the
[00:08:48] regional electoral courts, due to
[00:08:51] everything that was done before, today we practically
[00:08:54] had no problem with voter displacement where
[00:08:58] we expected to have more difficulty, which
[00:09:02] was the northern region, the southern region, despite the
[00:09:05] heavy rains and wind today, there was no
[00:09:08] flooding, no inundation that would prevent or obstruct
[00:09:12] the displacement of
[00:09:15] voters.
[00:09:19] Regarding
[00:09:20] the
[00:09:24] cell phone, there is
[00:09:27] constant monitoring, there was
[00:09:31] training, all the poll workers, male and female, who are
[00:09:34] working today, dedicating their Sunday to Brazilian democracy,
[00:09:38] received training
[00:09:41] for... in the voting booth, the entry of electronic
[00:09:45] equipment, not only cell phones, but also glasses that can
[00:09:49] photograph or film, eh, some
[00:09:52] incidents are natural to
[00:09:55] occur, the electoral justice must take
[00:09:59] measures, this primarily
[00:10:01] before reaching the TSE, from the regional
[00:10:05] courts themselves.
[00:10:11] President of the Republic.
[00:10:15] I just, I just heard, I don't, today I confess that I haven't
[00:10:19] had time yet to delve into isolated
[00:10:23] facts. Larissa Lopes
[00:10:26] from Record,
[00:10:31] hi minister, good afternoon, eh, I want to know if the TSE identified any
[00:10:35] element that justifies the closure of the US
[00:10:39] and Australian embassies, also alerts issued by the United
[00:10:43] Kingdom and Canada.
[00:10:44] Thank you.
[00:10:52] Well, what we have are two indications. First, from the
[00:10:55] governments themselves who justified the
[00:10:59] interruption, the suspension of services
[00:11:03] due to the occurrence of elections, and
[00:11:06] this is common, whenever there is an
[00:11:10] exacerbation, a political division within a
[00:11:13] country, other countries can, as was the case with
[00:11:17] Colombia, the United States also proceeded in the same way,
[00:11:20] suspending consular activities in the
[00:11:23] period surrounding the voting day
[00:11:27] eh our indications
[00:11:30] from the teams that
[00:11:33] monitor international risks do not point
[00:11:37] to any type of risk, including now more
[00:11:40] recently the Director General of the Federal Police confirmed, we have no
[00:11:43] report from the federal police, no report from ABIN, no report from any
[00:11:47] sector that works in partnership with the Superior Electoral Court, indicating
[00:11:51] any type of risk.
[00:11:55] Including yesterday I expressed myself
[00:11:58] eh and remembered this, I stated that our
[00:12:02] reports do not indicate any type of risk, whether
[00:12:05] international or from organized crime, as they also circulated with some
[00:12:09] threats and possibilities of attacks, we
[00:12:12] have not received any concrete
[00:12:15] indication of this so far,
[00:12:19] up to the present moment, it is a fact, right, nothing has happened
[00:12:22] yet. Marcos from SBT,
[00:12:37] hi minister, good afternoon, Marcos Santos here from SBT News,
[00:12:41] I would like you to provide more details regarding the
[00:12:44] electronic voting machines that had problems and were replaced, what
[00:12:48] caused this replacement, if it was the lack of energy, you talked about the
[00:12:52] lack of energy in some states. Was this the biggest problem you
[00:12:56] mentioned and I have another question on top of that, eh, if the
[00:12:59] TSE identified any wave of disinformation or content
[00:13:03] produced by artificial intelligence that was able to
[00:13:06] interfere in the course of this year's elections,
[00:13:09] thank you very much, eh, regarding the
[00:13:12] first question,
[00:13:15] if eh we detected
[00:13:18] any problem with the ballot box, yes, this is
[00:13:22] natural in an election, I remember
[00:13:25] I think it was in 2000 in Piauí
[00:13:29] there was an incident where they threw cornstarch in a ballot box,
[00:13:33] so if that happened in 2000, 20 years, 26 years
[00:13:36] later, it's natural that it happens, someone comes,
[00:13:39] tries to glue a button
[00:13:42] to hinder voting, the power
[00:13:45] oscillation is perhaps the incident that most caused the
[00:13:49] replacement of ballot boxes, many ballot boxes were replaced, there
[00:13:52] was no problem, the ballot boxes that eventually... had a problem
[00:13:56] they continue voting in another ballot box, they are
[00:13:59] replaced, all the votes cast
[00:14:01] there will be counted in the same way as the new ballot box, so
[00:14:05] we had no significant problem. Regarding
[00:14:09] misinformation, the report I have from
[00:14:12] today, from minutes ago is, I
[00:14:16] had already anticipated, the vast majority of the
[00:14:20] content that circulates or circulated today
[00:14:23] is already... known, mapped and
[00:14:27] identified content, we practically had no
[00:14:30] new or serious content that could
[00:14:33] cause any imbalance to the election.
[00:14:37] To finish, Luísa Martins from
[00:14:39] Folha.
[00:14:43] Hi president, good afternoon, good afternoon everyone. I would like to insist a bit, president, on
[00:14:47] the issue of foreign interference. Eh you spoke of the
[00:14:50] eh what the director of the
[00:14:54] Federal Police said, but he
[00:14:57] opened a preliminary investigation procedure to investigate not only
[00:15:01] foreign interference, but also the possibility of external
[00:15:04] funding in relation to the elections, eh, I wanted to know what is
[00:15:08] the level of alert of the TSE in relation to this
[00:15:11] topic, eh, especially now if there is a second round,
[00:15:14] eh, how does the election, the
[00:15:18] validity of the electoral result, stand, if this turns out to be true.
[00:15:22] Thank you.
[00:15:27] Thank you very much for
[00:15:27] the question,
[00:15:31] eh, let's talk about the current moment, let's leave the second
[00:15:34] round for an eventuality, so far. "We do not
[00:15:38] have any concrete indication of international
[00:15:42] interference, much was talked about
[00:15:45] months ago, including last year that these interferences could come
[00:15:49] through the platforms and I believe
[00:15:52] that the joint work that the
[00:15:55] TSE did with the
[00:15:58] platforms, not only the compliance plan, but a
[00:16:01] partnership and dedication that they had
[00:16:05] in conforming to the legislation"
[00:16:09] eh pushed away many of the problems that we could
[00:16:13] eventually have, but so far we have no
[00:16:16] indication from any of our rooms and teams within the court of
[00:16:20] any type of foreign
[00:16:22] interference.
[00:16:26] Thank you, I thank you, later we will speak
[00:16:29] again.
[00:16:31] So, of course, we continue
[00:16:34] following, bringing everything in real
[00:16:37] time, making the analyses, because I'm going to take
[00:16:41] this point that the collective ended
[00:16:45] on the issue of not having so
[00:16:48] far a concrete indication, nothing
[00:16:51] really concrete about international interference,
[00:16:55] Briciani, what can we say about this, also picking up on the point
[00:16:59] about the embassies,
[00:17:00] right?
[00:17:06] It's exactly as Minister Cássio said,
[00:17:09] right? Eh, we had this surprise of this closing of the
[00:17:13] embassies that later was
[00:17:17] deemed to be a practice, something that has already happened
[00:17:20] in other countries with heated elections,
[00:17:24] eh, well, in this whole context that we already discussed a bit earlier
[00:17:27] here, about the fears of a possible
[00:17:30] interference, it is important that the federal police really
[00:17:33] investigate if there was really any concrete
[00:17:37] threat, if it was just a preventive
[00:17:41] action by the countries, if there is
[00:17:44] any fear we should have regarding the
[00:17:47] positioning of these countries in
[00:17:51] relation to the Brazilian election, eh, I believe it is truly the moment for the
[00:17:54] federal police to bring these answers, right, because for
[00:17:58] now, what we have is this justification that
[00:18:02] there would be nothing specific that would justify this
[00:18:05] closing of the embassies. which was a factor that generated
[00:18:09] attention in recent days. Breciane,
[00:18:12] another topic from the collective with Nunis Marques was
[00:18:16] the judicialization in this election, we
[00:18:20] had in recent days decisions on José Roberto Arruda in
[00:18:23] Brasília, eh Garotinho in Rio de Janeiro, conflicting
[00:18:26] decisions on Deltando Alanhol in
[00:18:29] Paraná. To what extent can we
[00:18:33] expect one day to see the electoral justice resolve all
[00:18:36] these issues, well before the election,
[00:18:40] not arriving on the eve or even on election day with
[00:18:44] uncertainty if a candidate will appear on the ballot, if his
[00:18:47] votes will be considered null, if this will drag
[00:18:50] on for more weeks after the
[00:18:52] elections?
[00:18:58] Exactly, Renato, it's a very negative point of electoral
[00:19:01] justice, this inability to give
[00:19:04] a timely answer to the voter, right? The... Here in Brasília
[00:19:08] the candidate José Roberto Arruda had his candidacy
[00:19:11] blocked, 10 days before the
[00:19:14] elections, in Rio de Janeiro, the candidate Garotinho, right,
[00:19:18] had his candidacy considered irregular, now
[00:19:21] regarding the candidate Deltando Delanhol for
[00:19:25] the Senate in Paraná, a minister, a decision by a
[00:19:28] TSE minister had determined that the votes
[00:19:32] should be separated, not counted, Minister Nunes Marques himself
[00:19:35] revoked this decision, so these decisions
[00:19:39] eh everything we've been saying about the need for us to
[00:19:43] make voters aware, for voters to follow the process, to understand
[00:19:46] more, these decisions do not contribute, when electoral
[00:19:49] justice takes time to give an objective answer, if such
[00:19:53] a candidate is or is not able to
[00:19:56] goes against what we need for clarity for the
[00:20:00] voter about who they can choose and who they cannot
[00:20:03] choose among the candidates and... beyond
[00:20:06] that, right, regarding judicialization in a broader term, we
[00:20:10] followed some conflicting decisions, we already talked
[00:20:13] earlier about debates that were very negative, eh,
[00:20:17] the debate rules, debated, signed by all the
[00:20:20] candidates and the parties themselves resorting later and
[00:20:24] getting injunctions that ended up making some of these
[00:20:28] meetings unfeasible, eh we really need to be able to
[00:20:32] have stability in decisions so that we
[00:20:35] have greater clarity for the voter
[00:20:37] about their vote, about their possibilities, so
[00:20:41] the question that was addressed to Minister Casio was a little about the
[00:20:45] judicialization after the elections, right, a
[00:20:47] judicialization of the result, but this
[00:20:50] prior judicialization causes this effect of generating great
[00:20:53] insecurity for the voter that we need to
[00:20:57] ensure that electoral justice is also swift in
[00:21:01] relation to these ex post facto decisions, we see
[00:21:04] cases where candidates and elected
[00:21:07] officials who governed for 3 years were removed from
[00:21:11] office at the beginning of this year, eh, so
[00:21:14] once again what we need is to demand from
[00:21:17] electoral justice that it provides
[00:21:21] decisions, both before and
[00:21:24] after the elections, regarding
[00:21:26] after the elections, we remember that Max
[00:21:30] reinforced the issue of transparency, right, look, regarding the
[00:21:33] TSE, everything has functioned
[00:21:37] eh in the best way so far and with
[00:21:40] transparency and also reinforced that various institutions
[00:21:44] participated, agencies, federal police, everyone monitoring
[00:21:47] our system which so far has worked very well, we
[00:21:50] reinforce here that the minister was appointed by the Bolsonaro
[00:21:54] government, right
[00:21:55] Breciane?
[00:22:00] Exactly, I think as we said here there is
[00:22:03] a very important act by Minister Nunes
[00:22:06] Marques reinforcing this security of the electoral system. We
[00:22:10] had, right, in the recent past,
[00:22:12] strong questioning of the electoral system, I think we
[00:22:16] have been achieving a pacification in society. to give
[00:22:20] confidence to the system that the ballot boxes
[00:22:23] offer the result that the voter
[00:22:26] truly attributed to each candidate, it is
[00:22:30] very important this statement by the minister on the security of the
[00:22:34] system, we have historically the participation of
[00:22:37] international observers who are another level of
[00:22:41] endorsement on this security
[00:22:44] and efficiency of our electoral system, this is very
[00:22:47] important for democracy, so that the debate between people is, I
[00:22:51] prefer this candidate, I prefer that proposal and not
[00:22:54] whether the ballot box is truly reflecting your
[00:22:58] will. Speaking of Nunes
[00:23:01] Marques, in the Supreme Court, we know that in the next government the
[00:23:05] president will have at least three appointments for
[00:23:08] Supreme Court justices, who are those who are retiring, there's Luiz
[00:23:12] Fux, Carmen Lúcia and Gilmar Mendes. Fux retires
[00:23:15] in 2028, Carmen Lúcia in 29, Gilmar Mendes in
[00:23:20] 2030, there's also the situation of the Barroso vacancy, right, which was not
[00:23:23] filled after Jorge Messias's name was blocked in the Senate,
[00:23:27] so most likely there will be four names of ministers, at
[00:23:31] least, then it joins the fact that
[00:23:34] eh a part of the right, the PL, eh
[00:23:38] eh articulates there the election of senators to
[00:23:41] try to vote for even impeachment of ministers, right, eh what
[00:23:45] is the probable scenario we can see regarding the
[00:23:48] STF, regarding this... relationship between Congress and STF, also of the
[00:23:52] next president with the Federal Supreme
[00:23:55] Court.
[00:24:00] Look, Renato, it's a very difficult scenario, a scenario of
[00:24:04] great instability. I think we have been over these
[00:24:08] last weeks and months with a debate about the
[00:24:11] conduct of some ministers, with a debate also about
[00:24:15] positions with a possible political bias of the
[00:24:18] ministers and this is... very bad, I think there is an
[00:24:22] expectation of the Supreme Court as a judge, as someone who
[00:24:25] looks to be impartial to decide for or
[00:24:28] against, and as you mentioned, we have there on the part, right, of
[00:24:32] what is today the opposition a campaign directed at the
[00:24:36] Senate with this discourse that they need to
[00:24:39] elect senators so that they can, for example,
[00:24:43] remove ministers from the Supreme Court, I wanted to draw
[00:24:46] attention to another point, the Senate is the one who
[00:24:49] approves. Supreme Court ministers, we had the recent rejection
[00:24:53] of Jorge Messias, which had not happened since the Old
[00:24:57] Republic, right, since the late
[00:24:59] 1800s, we had this rejection now and
[00:25:03] we will have a very complex scenario,
[00:25:06] eventuality, for example, if a government
[00:25:10] is elected, a reelection of President Lula with the
[00:25:13] Senate as predicted, more to the right, would this
[00:25:17] Senate approve names nominated by President Lula,
[00:25:20] anyway, we will have a very complex institutional debate
[00:25:24] about the Supreme Court, we have, right, a
[00:25:27] proposal brought by several
[00:25:29] parliamentarians and also by presidential candidates, about the need
[00:25:33] to debate a judiciary reform more broadly, there is
[00:25:37] a debate about mandates for Supreme Court justices where there are pros
[00:25:41] and cons and in relation to this proposal, but there are also some
[00:25:45] questions, is it correct for a Supreme Court
[00:25:48] justice to serve for 30, 40 years in office, so we will have a very
[00:25:51] complex, very difficult,
[00:25:55] very arduous debate being held at a time when
[00:25:58] there is a certain radicalism of positions, as we said earlier
[00:26:02] the... a polarization where we only look at
[00:26:05] for or against, many times we don't debate these nuances, right
[00:26:09] why certain decisions need
[00:26:13] to be made, so answering your question objectively,
[00:26:16] I think we will have some crises
[00:26:19] contracted regarding this relationship between Congress
[00:26:23] and the judiciary, as that these crises can
[00:26:27] impact democracy, right? Younger people may not
[00:26:30] have full awareness...
[00:26:32] because they didn't experience the dictatorship and think that
[00:26:35] democracy is something concrete,
[00:26:38] solid, but is it really like that or does
[00:26:42] democracy also have its fragility? That is, how do these
[00:26:45] impacts can
[00:26:48] weaken, right, the system that exists
[00:26:50] today?
[00:26:55] Yeah, we have a debate, right, that our constitution stipulated that the
[00:26:59] powers must be independent and harmonious. We
[00:27:03] need to be able to make that happen again,
[00:27:07] I think we often see the Supreme Court
[00:27:10] interfering in matters that would be of Congress, the
[00:27:14] executive sometimes legislating, so to speak, right,
[00:27:17] as it is accused through provisional measures, we have
[00:27:21] a very complex debate about how the legislative
[00:27:25] executing through parliamentary amendments, so
[00:27:29] we have a bit of a debate about a dysfunction
[00:27:33] of the system that needs to be addressed and faced in broad
[00:27:36] daylight, with transparency, with clear arguments in a
[00:27:40] profound way, I believe that when we often
[00:27:43] politicize in favor or against,
[00:27:46] in this polarization, we lose a bit of the concept that lies
[00:27:50] behind it, uh, when we design a
[00:27:53] legislative being elected, an executive being
[00:27:57] elected and a judiciary that
[00:28:00] is to be appointed and have a... skill, it's
[00:28:03] because we each have different functions from each other and these
[00:28:07] functions need to be exercised, when there are these invasions of competence
[00:28:11] we create this breeding ground of this scenario,
[00:28:14] of this very bad scenario that we see, of one
[00:28:18] institution in conflict with another, which unfortunately is
[00:28:21] a scenario that should happen in the coming years
[00:28:24] and that we will have to have a lot of maturity as a country
[00:28:28] and that the elected authorities or even those
[00:28:31] appointed to the Supreme Court have the serenity
[00:28:35] to reach political constructions that allow us
[00:28:39] to maintain this solidity of democracy, we spoke earlier,
[00:28:42] we are in the longest period of direct
[00:28:46] elections for president and we are talking about a period
[00:28:49] that now, right, it doesn't even reach 40 years, it's very
[00:28:53] little, it's a process of solidification of our
[00:28:56] democracy, for us to get out of this moment,
[00:28:59] of this conflict with agreements that are... of
[00:29:03] society and with a clear definition of everyone's
[00:29:06] function, everyone's respect for their function, the competence of the
[00:29:09] other power will be very important for us
[00:29:13] to solidify this democracy, exactly,
[00:29:16] remembering that always focusing on the people, right? Politicians should not
[00:29:20] forget that they are not there for their own
[00:29:24] causes, right, but for the entire population, well, more news is coming
[00:29:27] here for us and it's this: the Ministry of Justice
[00:29:31] published the first report... on operations this Sunday until 2
[00:29:34] p.m. There were 361 occurrences,
[00:29:38] mostly in Minas Gerais with 43. In total,
[00:29:42] there were 313
[00:29:46] eight common crimes, half of which were committed
[00:29:49] against candidates, another four happened in polling
[00:29:52] or counting locations. More than R$100,000
[00:29:55] were seized, four weapons and 13
[00:29:59] vehicles were also confiscated, police...
[00:30:02] arrested four people. Two men
[00:30:05] were arrested last night in Manaus on suspicion of vote
[00:30:08] buying. R$78,000 in cash were seized, which
[00:30:12] would be used for bribery and vote buying. The agents
[00:30:16] also found political propaganda materials, including
[00:30:19] posters and flyers of the state deputy candidate Eduardo
[00:30:23] Assis, from Avante. The case is
[00:30:25] being investigated. We are now going to Rio de Janeiro. Reporter
[00:30:29] Letícia Antunes is at the electoral court in.
[00:30:33] dos Goytacazes and brings more information on how the voting is going, hi, good afternoon to
[00:30:37] you.
[00:30:41] Hi Keele, good afternoon to you and to everyone watching us, throughout
[00:30:45] the state of Rio de Janeiro, four occurrences have been
[00:30:48] registered so far, one of these
[00:30:51] occurrences happened in the city of Cardoso Moreira here
[00:30:54] in the north of the state of Rio de Janeiro, a man was
[00:30:58] taken to the police station.
