Speculation mounts on possible impeachment of Brazil's Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes

Brazilian media and political commentators are increasingly discussing the prospect of impeaching Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes. The speculation is tied to the right‑wing bloc’s expected gains in the upcoming Senate elections, where the Liberal Party (PL) could add up to 20 new senators, bringing its total to 28. Analysts say that with 13 additional votes from allied right‑wing senators, the coalition could control 41 seats, enough to reach the two‑thirds majority required to remove a Supreme Court minister.

The debate follows recent actions by President Jair Bolsonaro and his family, including public statements and videos that have heightened tensions with the judiciary. While no formal impeachment process has been launched, the narrative suggests that a coordinated effort by the far‑right could target Moraes as part of a broader challenge to Brazil’s democratic institutions.
