In two days of work and with cameras open to the country, the first class of the Federal Supreme Court of the Attorney General, which makes the former defendant president in a criminal case, along with seven allied figures of his government. The process instruction phase begins.
The holder of the action will consolidate the complaint itself. The defendants will exercise their right of defense, guided by experienced lawyers. And the first class, protected by the house regiment, should finally announce the sentences.
Justice has rites, times and whims. What was seen in these two days was the theater starring this lady-maat, in the Egyptian tradition, Thesis, in the Greek tradition, justitia, in the Roman tradition-around with her characters, in this case, Attorney General, Judges and Defenders, gathered to vote the petition 12 100. Although complex and no deadline to finish, the next step is already gain: Graduate group of defendants. May be confirmed or not.
Bolsonaro heads the list, certainly not for his own merit, but because he acted ahead of a “criminal organization with hierarchical order,” according to the complaint. On Tuesday (25), Alexandre de Moraes, described the boldness of this group, in meetings, minutes, messenger, scam minutes.
All added, as one of the military involved in the plot said. Although the defenses are hindering to prove that their clients were not implicated in what Brazil has witnessed, the truth is that the country needs everything to be clarified. It is pedagogical for society. It is regenerating for democracy.
It follows the rite, but it is worth remembering that there are other investigative fronts involving the former president and allies. Moraes, at the last days session, has not lost a chance to talk about fake news, the “hatred office” enclosed in the previous government and digital militias, targets of PF inquiries. There is a universe to be unraveled, including to delimit what is freedom of expression and license to deceive, manipulate, inflate.
Similarly, responsibilities are charged to the former president and members of his government in facing Covid-19 in Brazil. There is a robust report made by the pandemic CPI, delivered to (at the time, under Augusto Aras), and TCU.
There are 80 requests for indictment, starting with Bolsonaro. How to leave for the calendar what was raised? How to ignore the oxygen crisis in Manaus? Or the water cut for indigenous communities? Or the forgery of vaccination portfolios by authorities? How to accept that part of the loss of 700,000 lives could have been avoided?
And, like not?, The case of Arab jewelry, state gifts taken to the occasion bargain counter, is exhausted to make a little money.
Perhaps Bolsonaro, present on the first day of the session, was intimately wondered if he became a good deal attacking the Supreme Court since before the beginning of his government. It is April 2018 the breach of son 03, a licensed and self -examined deputy in the US, that to close the Supreme would be a cable and a soldier. The same supreme today judges a former president, his father, and starry generals. Calculation error. Life is not so banal.
