Brazilian Minister Faces Restrictions After Social Media Post

New Curfew and Embassies Ban Imposed

Following a controversial social media post, a prominent Brazilian minister has been subjected to significant personal restrictions, including a nightly curfew and a ban on approaching foreign embassies.

Judicial Sanctions Detailed

The minister, identified as being in reserve, shared an image on social media referencing the iconic line, We will always have Paris, from the 1942 film “Casablanca.” The film was directed by **Michael Curtiz** and starred **Humphrey Bogart**, **Ingrid Bergman**, and **Paul Henreid**.

These new measures also prohibit the minister from utilizing social networks and impose a home confinement requirement daily from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays, and for the entirety of weekends and holidays.

Scope of the Restrictions

According to a statement from **Rubio**, these sanctions extend beyond the minister to include family members and allies on the Court. The directive was made public via the minister’s own social media channels and is effective immediately. No other individuals were named in the announcement.

Brazil has seen increased judicial scrutiny of public figures’ online activities. For instance, in 2023, the country’s Superior Electoral Court fined former President **Jair Bolsonaro** for disseminating false information during the 2022 election campaign, underscoring the growing impact of digital conduct on political careers.
