Justice Minister Levin tells gov't to disobey High Court ruling for a state comptroller revote
Levin said Rabello should "assume the position" of state comptroller despite last week's call for a revote after the initial election was deemed invalid due to a secret-ballot controversy
Assessment
Justice Minister Levin is directly challenging the High Court's authority by instructing the government to ignore a ruling that requires a new vote for state comptroller. This escalates a confrontation between the executive and judicial branches over the legitimacy of the initial election, which was invalidated due to a secret-ballot dispute. The outcome will test whether the government will comply with judicial oversight or deepen a constitutional crisis.
