Overview

  • Flávio Dino of the Supreme Federal Court on Monday overturned a Paraná electoral court order that removed a news story about Deltan Dallagnol and canceled fines and a ban on new posts.
  • The removed piece, published by the Mareli Martins portal, said the Superior Electoral Court kept Dallagnol ineligible, and the order came from Judge Gisele Lemke after a lawsuit by the Novo party alleging early negative campaigning.
  • Dino wrote that taking the article down without clear illegality would be prior censorship, noting the report relied on a public case-status certificate from the Superior Electoral Court rather than inventing facts.
  • The minister also rejected claims that Novo’s multiple lawsuits amounted to judicial harassment, saying many cases by itself does not prove an effort to intimidate the press.
  • Dallagnol blasted the ruling and insisted he is eligible for 2026, as Novo now appeals for Dino’s recusal and a suspension of the decision, with the broader dispute rooted in the TSE’s 2023 move that voided his 2022 mandate.
