The Spin
Right narrative
Alexandre de Moraes must be impeached. He has become a judicial dictator who tramples on basic democratic rights and freedoms to silence political opposition, destroying the separation of powers that democracy requires.
Left narrative
Moraes is a crucial defender of Brazilian democracy. The judge's fight against far-right populism is unlikely to cease anytime soon, as Bolsonaro and his allies continue flouting their vitriolic politics in contravention of Brazilian law and sovereignty.
