On Thursday, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) in Brazil dismissed the impeachment request against Senator Jorge Seif (PL-SC), known as '06' after a nickname given by former President Jair Bolsonaro. Seif, who was elected in 2022 with nearly 1.5 million votes, has gained prominence in the political landscape of Santa Catarina, despite being originally from Rio de Janeiro. Prior to his role as senator, he served as the Secretary of Aquiculture and Fisheries in Bolsonaro's government, indicating a strong connection to the agricultural and fisheries sectors.

Jorge Seif's electoral success came at the expense of traditional politicians, including the former governor of Santa Catarina, Raimundo Colombo, who was involved in the legal proceedings against him. Seif's victory and his subsequent defense against the impeachment highlights the ongoing tensions in Brazilian politics, where allegations of economic power abuses are often intertwined with the dynamic political allegiances and rivalries within the country.

Alongside his political career, Seif is also a businessman in the fishing and logistics industry, with his family having a long-established presence in the coastal economy of Santa Catarina. As he continues his term, which runs until 2031, Seif's actions and decisions will be closely monitored, particularly regarding their implications for regional politics and the agricultural sector.
