Overview
- A Rio de Janeiro court annulled Rede Sustentabilidade’s February 2025 municipal congress and, as a consequence, voided the subsequent state and national gatherings.
- Judge Marcos Antônio Ribeiro de Moura Brito cited late and inadequate convocation via Instagram Stories, weak identity checks, and fraudulent signature records as grave flaws.
- The ruling questions the directories formed in 2025 and the internal election that elevated Paulo Lamac, an ally of Heloísa Helena, to lead the party, and it orders costs and attorneys’ fees.
- Rede’s national leadership says it has not been formally notified and will appeal, and Lamac stated the party will seek review of the decision.
- The case was brought by a group linked to Marina Silva, highlighting a prolonged split inside Rede, and reporting indicates Marina has discussed a possible Senate run in São Paulo with PT, PSOL, or PSB.
