The Superior Electoral Court still has 29 electoral judicial investigation actions (AIJE) to judge, and among those cited are the re-elected president Lula and senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), former presidential candidate. According to InfoMoney, the number shows that part of the contentious dispute remains open.
According to the report, these actions are civil in nature, but may require criminal investigation. In other words, the main discussion is about the legality of the conduct in the campaign, and not about the immediate application of a criminal penalty.
According to InfoMoney, AIJE deals with three major themes: abuse of economic, political or authority power, and misuse of means of communication and transport. These are allegations that affect the functioning of the public machine and the ability to use resources during the election.
The declared objective of this type of action, according to the same source, is to ensure equality between candidates in the electoral dispute. When a process of this size remains pending, doubts about the legal result of the election also remain, even with the election already closed.
The available data does not provide a deadline for the judgments or detail the progress of each of the 29 actions. Without this calendar, it is not possible to say when the issue will be resolved or what the outcome will be.
What changes for the investor
Pending electoral actions do not, in themselves, change the results of companies listed on the stock exchange. The potential effect is political uncertainty: processes involving the main names in national politics are usually followed by those who operate interest rates, dollars and shares, because they can influence expectations about the government's direction. The report does not indicate results or dates, and this text does not predict price movements. For those who invest, the most useful thing is to monitor the progress of trials and court decisions.
