Nunes Marques complains to Fachin about 'undue overlap of competence' after Dino's decision
The president of the TSE asked the president of the STF to promote a filter in the distribution of petitions with urgent requests related to the elections.
TL;DR
- TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques requested STF President Edson Fachin to filter the distribution of urgent election-related petitions.
- The request stems from an "undue overlap of competence" after STF Minister Flávio Dino overturned a TSE decision made by Minister André Mendonça.
- The overturned decision involved the removal of social media links related to claims about presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and religious sentiments.
- Marques' concerns include the risk of "functional subordination of the TSE" to external individual decisions, which he believes weakens collegiality and creates legal instability.
- A previous incident involved a research survey with dialogues between Flávio Bolsonaro and the former CEO of Banco Master, where Nunes Marques altered the distribution process, ultimately granting a preliminary injunction to suspend the survey's disclosure.
