Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The President of the CASA-CE coalition appealed to the Plenary against Judgment No. 497/2018, given at the request of five of the six coalition parties, arguing that the coalition did not have merely electoral aims and that the Court had interfered in its internal affairs. The Court dismissed the appeal because CASA-CE is legally an electoral coalition dependent on the will of its member parties, and the judgment had merely enforced the Constitution and the Political Parties Law.
