Cerimedo Was Excluded From the Complaint for the Alleged Coup Attempt in Brazil

Fernando Cerimedo's exclusion from the complaint  filed by Brazil's Public Ministry highlights the political persecution and censorship in the country.

Cerimedo had been investigated for allegedly spreading "false information" about the 2022 Brazilian electoral process, after exposing irregularities  in the use of electronic voting machines and denouncing a possible manipulation of the results.

Despite attempts to  involve him in a baseless judicial process, his exclusion confirms the  lack of evidence against him.

A political process marked by censorship

Since 2022, Cerimedo, a political consultant and partner of La Derecha Diario, was targeted by a judicial offensive promoted by Judge Alexandre de Moraes. His investigation was linked to an alleged involvement in spreading news that questioned the transparency of the Brazilian electoral system. That same year, Brazil's Superior Electoral Court ordered the censorship of La Derecha Diario for exposing alleged irregularities  in the presidential elections.

Cerimedo presented official data indicating inconsistencies in the vote count, such as differences in the results of electronic voting machines and atypical voting patterns. However, instead of opening an investigation, the Supreme Electoral Court chose to silence him.

The exclusion from the complaint and its implications

The fact that Cerimedo was excluded from the complaint exposes Lula's regime's attempts to control the political narrative and silence the opposition.

His exclusion not only confirms the lack of evidence against him but  also highlights the use of judicial power to stifle dissent.

Brazil under a censorship system

• Alexandre de Moraes has pushed measures to pursue and silence government critics.
• In 2022, La Derecha Diario's accounts were banned on social media for reporting on the elections.
• The social network X was blocked in Brazil following Elon Musk's refusal to censor opponents.
• Jair Bolsonaro was banned in a political maneuver to prevent his return to power.

A key precedent in the fight for press freedom

The persecution of Cerimedo and other opposition leaders confirms the deterioration of freedoms in Brazil. His exclusion from the complaint reinforces the importance of resisting state censorship and defending the right to inform.

This case reaffirms the concern over the concentration of power in the hands of a judge acting as the executioner of political repression. Justice, ultimately, could not sustain an accusation built on weak foundations.
