CNE Sends Complaints About Ventura's Posters to Public Prosecutor Over Alleged Hate Speech

CNE Refers Complaints on Ventura's Campaign Posters to Public Prosecutor

The Comissão Nacional de Eleições (CNE) has decided to forward the numerous complaints it received regarding André Ventura's campaign posters to the Ministério Público (MP) for further assessment. The CNE emphasized that the messages on these posters specifically reference certain groups based on their origin and ethnicity, which has raised concerns about discrimination, xenophobia, and incitement to hatred.

However, the CNE clarified that it lacks jurisdiction to intervene in such matters outside of the electoral period, leading to the referral to the Public Prosecutor to evaluate and investigate any potential criminal offenses. This move follows public outcry over the content of the posters, which critics argue target vulnerable communities.
