Far right gets more vocal about impeaching Justice Moraes

In the wake of Jair Bolsonaro’s house arrest this week, Brazil’s far-right opposition has seized on an old rallying cry: impeaching Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

The justice has become a lightning rod for far-right anger, given his role overseeing investigations into former president Jair Bolsonaro and his allies over a coup attempt after the 2022 election and for serving as the public face of the judiciary’s efforts to dismantle online disinformation networks.
