Moraes: Brazil will know how to defend democracy from national and international enemies
Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court (STF), said on Tuesday that Brazil will know how to defend its democracy of national or international “enemies”. The speech was given during the inauguration ceremony of his portrait at the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) gallery.
– The TSE has shown that it has only one mission: the great mission of performing the elections, of showing the Brazilian people that those that the Brazilian population chooses will be sworn in. It matters little what are the enemies of democracy and the Democratic Rule of Law. Whether national enemies are international enemies, Brazil will always know how to defend its democracy – said Moraes.
