Intermediary, Carlos Tramontinawarned Marçal twice for the same reason. The third time, he announced the expulsion of the PRTB candidate.

“You were kicked out because of the presenter’s decision,” said Carlos Tramontina in the third person.

Immediately after the expulsion was announced, the campaigns of Pablo Marçal and Ricardo Nunes were caught in a flurry of confusion. The debate organizers therefore called it a commercial break.
