Lula, the former Brazilian president, has been vocal about the recent political unrest, stating that those who deserve impeachment are the parliamentarians who orchestrated the motim, not Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes. He praised Moraes for safeguarding democracy and criticized congressmen involved in the motim. Lula's comments come amidst a political standoff, with the Centrão and bolsonaristas reaching an agreement to protect parliamentarians from judicial interference. The motim, led by Bolsonaro's supporters, has pushed for changes in the judicial system, including a proposal to alter the forum and expose Justice Minister André Mendonça. However, talks of amnesty have stalled. Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco has dealt a blow to Bolsonaristas by rejecting the impeachment of Moraes and ending the motim in the Senate. The political unrest has catapulted Deputy Hugo Motta to the top of social media discussions. Meanwhile, several deputies, including David Zaia, are expected to face suspension for their role in the motim. Motta has been reviewing footage to determine punishments for the involved deputies. Senator Rodrigo Pacheco, a critic of the Bolsonaro-led motim, has previously obstructed the Senate's agenda in 2019.
