The plenary session of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is expected to judge this Tuesday (9), in a session scheduled for 7pm, whether to maintain or overturn a preliminary decision by Minister Nunes Marques who ordered the suspension of the publication of a survey that had shown a drop in voting intentions for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), pre-candidate for the Presidency. The survey was carried out and published in May, after the leak of audios in which Flávio appears asking for money to finance a film about his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, from former banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of the extinct Banco Master and investigated for billion-dollar financial fraud.

According to the decision, the company responsible for the electoral research, AtlasIntel, must remove the survey from its communication channels and stop any dissemination of the research. The decision by Nunes Marques, who is president of the TSE, is preliminary, that is, it is provisional in nature and must be endorsed or not by the plenary, which is made up, in addition to him, of six more ministers. They are: André Mendonça, Dias Toffoli, Antonio Carlos Ferreira, Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva, Floriano Azevedo Marques Neto and Estela Aranha. In the decision, Marques agreed with the arguments presented by the PL, which claimed that there had been a negative direction against Flávio. The party pointed out that of the 49 questions that made up the survey questionnaire, eight were related to the Master and unduly linked the pre-candidate to the financial scandal.   Brasília (DF), 06/30/2023 - Minister Kássio Nunes Marques, president of the TSE.

Furthermore, the party claimed that the audio that supported the questions had not yet been authenticated by the courts, which is why it could not have supported the survey. The minister wrote that the party's arguments are plausible and go beyond “mere disagreement regarding the represented's methodological choices, but involve an objective allegation of the possible use of the questionnaire as a mechanism for inducing the interviewee”.
