Protests demand impeachment of Moraes on September 7

On Monday, September 7, 2026, protesters occupy the streets of several Brazilian capitals to demand the impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). The central focus of the mobilizations is the request for impeachment of the minister, which gained strength after new revelations from the Federal Police. Led by right-wing figures such as Flávio Bolsonaro, Michelle Bolsonaro and Silas Malafaia, the acts seek to put pressure on the Federal Senate.

The protests take place amid a scenario of questions about the magistrate’s performance. The popular pressure gained extra breath after the release of new Federal Police reports involving the so-called Master case. This information brings messages and documents recovered from the cell phone of the former banker Daniel Vorcaro, raising questions about possible conflicts of interest and the use of the minister's institutional influence.

Acts spread across 17 capitals

In addition to the São Paulo-Brasília axis, the demonstrations spread to 15 other capitals, including Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba and Northeastern capitals. Each city had specific schedules announced by local leaders. In São Paulo, the main concentration takes place in Avenida Paulista, bringing together allied governors, mayors and parliamentarians.

In Brasília, the strategy was to divide the mobilization into two distinct points so as not to interfere with the official civic parade on the Esplanade. One act took place in front of the Banco Central, focused on Senate candidacies, and another in the Funarte parking lot, with the direct agenda against the minister. The division aimed to give visibility to demands without conflicting with official celebrations.

Organizers look to Congress response

For the organizers, the acts serve to demonstrate that the agenda for the departure of the minister is consolidated in society. They argue that Congress needs to give an immediate institutional response. The mobilization seeks to show popular strength and pressure parliamentarians to act.

The Senate is the body responsible for analyzing and judging impeachment requests against ministers of the STF. For a conviction to occur, it takes the vote of two-thirds of the House, or 54 of the 81 senators. At present, popular pressure is especially directed at the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, who holds the power to regulate or not these processes.

PF revelations fuel protests

The new Federal Police reports on the Master case brought to light messages and documents from Daniel Vorcaro’s mobile phone. The content raised questions about possible conflicts of interest and the use of the minister’s institutional influence. These revelations were cited by protesters as justification for the impeachment request.

Organizers say the release of the reports strengthened the mobilization. They hope that the pressure from the streets will lead the Senate to move forward with impeachment requests. The source did not detail the exact content of the messages, but indicated that they are central to the questioning.

Next steps of mobilization

This Monday’s acts represent a milestone in the pressure for the impeachment of Alexandre de Moraes. The organisers expect the mobilisation to continue and gain membership in other cities. They say that the agenda is consolidated and that Congress needs to respond.

The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor the unfolding of the demonstrations and the decisions of the Senate on the impeachment requests. Stay tuned for upcoming updates on our website.
