Suspension of duties
editOn 8 January 2023, Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes temporarily suspended Ibaneis for a period of 90 days from the position of governor after the 2023 invasion of the Brazilian Congress[3][4] in the federal capital of Brazil for allegations of security flaws.[5][6] The protests were led by a combination of individuals who support former president Jair Bolsonaro and oppose current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.[7][8] Vice-Governor Celina Leão temporarily took office[9][10] until 15 March 2023, when Rocha's suspension was revoked by Moraes.[11]
Notes
edit- ^ Leão served as governor from 8 January 2023 to 15 March 2023 after Rocha was suspended by Alexandre de Moraes for inaction during the 2023 Praça dos Três Poderes attack.
