Minister André Mendonça of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) decided this Tuesday (29) to allow a post by federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) that mentioned the controversy involving Our Lady of Aparecida.
Mendonça granted an appeal filed by the deputy to review his decision ordering the removal of the publication.
In the post, Erika mentioned that the bill was introduced by a former deputy in 2007 and has already been archived. She also said that the return of the debate "by the hands of Flávio or by the hands of his allies" should be viewed with caution, referring to presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL).
For Mendonça, the post should be allowed because it does not reproduce an untrue fact.
"After specifically examining the post by the complainant, I verify that it, in fact, does not reproduce the factual core considered notoriously untrue," he decided.

The case involving the posts about Our Lady began last weekend and went to the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
On Thursday (24), comedian Antonio Tabet posted on the social network X: “The militiaman family hates Black women so much that it decided to attack Our Lady of Aparecida!”
At Flávio Bolsonaro's request, André Mendonça ordered the removal of the post and similar content, on the grounds that the publication had spread false news about the candidate.
Although he was not mentioned in the post, the candidate argued that the text was inserted in the context of false messages that attribute to him the introduction of a bill to remove from Our Lady of Aparecida the title of patron saint of Brazil, a fact that he denies.
On Sunday (27), Minister Flávio Dino granted the comedian's appeal and overturned Minister André Mendonça's decision, which had ordered the removal of the post. Then, the candidate appealed to Minister Luiz Fux, who overturned Dino's decision.
The case will be decided by the STF plenary. So far, there is no scheduled date for analysis of the cases.
