The initiative is by federal deputy Marcel van Hattem (Novo-RS) and began on the 17th. Until 5:35 pm, this Monday (29), 501,017 people had already signed. The collegiate would aim to investigate the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) for alleged abuse of authority.

The undersigned was announced after the impeachment of federal deputy Deltan Dallagnol (Podemos-PR). Marcel van Hattem needs the signature of 171 federal deputies to start the commission’s proceedings. So far, 147 deputies have signed. The petition is available here.

“The undersigned is being a way to sensitize the population and the deputies in the face of so many arbitrariness and injustices committed by the superior courts, which seem to have become routine for some time now”, said the president of Novo, Eduardo Ribeiro, in a note .
