Londrina (PR) councilor Jessica Ramos Moreno (PL), known as Jessicão, is the target of a public civil action filed by the MPT-PR (Public Ministry of Labor in Paraná) which determines the immediate removal of a publication in which the parliamentarian, the woman with the highest votes in the state, incites the dismissal of PT members.
"His rubbish vote harms your business, harms your family and harms your entire life! Fire the evil", wrote Jessicão in a post made on the social network X on October 25, following the results of the second round of the presidential elections, which guaranteed the re-election of Lula (PT).
The civil action also requires the payment of R$1 million in compensation for collective moral damages, and covers other content of the parliamentarian that may induce or incite discriminatory practices regarding access to or maintenance of the employment relationship.
The MPT-PR characterized the publication as a practice of electoral harassment and stated that it had received more than one hundred complaints regarding the post, which is still available on the councilor's profile.
In a statement, Jessicão stated that he has not yet had official access to the process and that he will provide the necessary clarifications "as soon as he is aware of all the elements."
"I reinforce my commitment to freedom of expression, a fundamental right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and indispensable to democracy. Political debate, expression of opinions and freedom of thought need to be respected, regardless of ideological positions", said the elected deputy.
She also states that she will not give up her right to demonstrate, within the limits of the law, and says that "democracy presupposes freedom, plurality of ideas and respect for contradictions."
The MPT-PR decision cites the reach of the publication, which in a few hours reached more than 1 million views.
According to the organization, there is a "wide potential for the discriminatory message to reach a countless number of employers, who may feel authorized to practice electoral harassment and discrimination based on political conviction."
The compensation requested considers the value equivalent to R$1 for each view of the post.
Jessicão was elected state deputy with 131,673 votes, a number that represents the second highest vote for the position in the state, behind only Paulo Melo, also elected by PL. She has over 200,000 followers on X.
The MPT-PR justifies compensation for collective damages by stating that the behavior "exceeds freedom of expression" and is incompatible with the constitutional order. "For violating fundamental rights guaranteed to every worker, especially human dignity, equality and non-discrimination, as well as the rights to intimacy, private life and freedom of conscience", says the body.
The resource must be allocated to the Diffuse Rights Defense Fund or the Worker Support Fund, or to philanthropic social entities related to the protection of workers' rights.
Born in Londrina, Jessicão is a former president of the Movimento Direita Paraná and was elected councilor for the first time in 2020, then for the PP (Partido Progressistas). She was re-elected in 2024, and this year she launched her first candidacy for Alep (Legislative Assembly of Paraná).
