Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) justified, on Tuesday (25), the decision to release the videos containing the testimonies of Mauro Cid’s award-winning denunciation, former Jair Bolsonaro orders. The statement was made while reading his vote at the trial that he will decide whether former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and his allies will formally accused of attempted coup.
Moraes explained that the release of the videos aimed to prevent the performance of digital militias, who, according to him, try to manipulate information and intimidate the judiciary.
“I made the public deletion videos on the very day [da apresentação da denúncia] To avoid the performance of digital militias, which act, even during this trial, to take excerpts in an attempt to intimidate the judiciary, ”said the minister.
In an emphatic tone, Moraes reiterated that the judiciary would not be intimidated by these actions, whether from internal or external forces.
“But they did not understand that if they have not intimidated the judiciary so far, they will not intimidate, whether with police or digital, national and foreign militia, because Brazil is a sovereign country,” the minister added.
