STF crisis deepens as leaks implicate TSE head; Fachin criticized
Valor Econômico·BR·3 days ago

The reversal, prompted by comedian Antônio Tabet, permits the content during the election period. This is a judicial intervention in electoral speech rules, with implications for campaign discourse and religious content in elections.
