Assembly calls for suspension of decision that returned political rights to impeached former deputy

The Assembly called for the immediate suspension of a decision by Minister Nunes Marques, taken on August 5, which returned part of the political rights to the former deputy. In practice, the decision freed Jalser to participate in party conventions and run in the 2026 state elections.

Understand: The minister's decision partially suspends the effects of the revocation of the mandate and guarantees that Jalser participates in the party convention and other acts related to the October 4th election.

Fachin recalled that the president of the Court only has the power to overturn a minister's injunction if this individual decision directly contravenes an understanding that has already been established by all ministers (the collegiate).

"Thus, the Presidency's action is only justified for the preservation of the institutional guidance established by the collegiate, in cases where an individual decision departs from it in a clear and relevant way, not being used as a counter-cautionary measure as an ordinary instrument for reviewing monocratic pronouncements", cites an excerpt from the decision.

Jalser was a state deputy and president of the Legislative Assembly of Roraima (Ale-RR), but was impeached for breach of decorum in February 2022, which left him ineligible until 2030. The case was opened in the House after he was accused of ordering the kidnapping of journalist Romano dos Anjos, in 2020. Since his impeachment, Jalser had been trying to reverse the decision in court.
