BRAZIL POLITICS - Report 24 Mar 2022 by Murillo de Aragão and Cristiano Noronha

Prosecutor General Augusto Aras asked the STF to open an investigation into the Minister of Education, Milton Ribeiro.

Two new voting intention polls on the presidential election should be published today, one from Exame/Ideia and another from Datafolha. The STF postponed the analysis of the cases that challenge the end of the tie-breaking vote in tax administrative judgments of the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals (Carf) from yesterday to today.
