The crowd on São Paulo’s Paulista Avenue repeatedly chanted “Mendonça” as Bolsonaro-aligned politicians praised Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça and demanded action against Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

Deputy Gustavo Gayer asked the thousands gathered at Monday’s rally to chant in gratitude to Mendonça. The event was attended by presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who wants to turn the demonstration into an electoral asset.

· Silas MalafaiaMalafaia used the term while recalling the seizure of his passport by Alexandre de Moraes.

Gayer claimed that one million people had come to exalt the Supreme Court justice, but no official attendance estimate was available. The rally therefore carried a striking claim about its size without an official figure to support it.

· Silas MalafaiaHe referred to a possible political effort involving President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Pastor Silas Malafaia recalled that Moraes had seized his passport a year earlier and called the justice a “dictator”. He then referred to what he described as a possible effort, involving President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to “destroy André Mendonça”.

Malafaia ended by saying, “Alexandre de Moraes needs to be removed from office and impeached,” before asking for votes for Flávio Bolsonaro.
