In Brazil today, August 9, 2025, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been making waves by staunchly defending Minister Alexandre de Moraes amidst impeachment discussions. Lula has gone as far as labeling some senators and deputies as "traitors" for trying to disrupt Congressional proceedings. He specifically urged Senator Sérgio Petecão to refrain from signing the impeachment request against Moraes, asserting that the Minister is a guardian of democracy. Lula's critique extends to former President Jair Bolsonaro and his son Eduardo, whom he also called traitors. This strong rhetoric coincides with federal investment announcements in Acre. Meanwhile, Romário has come forward about receiving an aggressive WhatsApp message from Pastor Silas Malafaia, hinting at threats from Bolsonaro's supporters for not backing Moraes' impeachment. Despite this, Romário clarified he hasn't severed ties with Bolsonaro. Adding to the political drama, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta, has decided to suspend five deputies, including Camila Jara and Marcos Pollon, for their involvement in a recent disturbance. This decision is pending approval from the Ethics Council. The controversy, ignited by a demand for prioritizing amnesty projects, saw deputies physically obstructing legislative sessions. Jara has denied assault allegations, claiming self-defense amidst the chaos, while Pollon faced backlash for derogatory remarks against Motta.
