After rejecting the procedural preliminaries on Tuesday (25), the group of ministers confirmed that the complaint has sufficient evidence of materiality and authorship to continue. Unanimously, the five magistrates voted for the opening of the process.
The first to speak was the rapporteur ,. Following, the ministers voted, Luiz Fux e. The order followed the seniority criterion in court. The president of the first class, was the last to vote and ended the session. Read below some sentences of the trial:
‘Walk in the park’
Reading his report, Alexandre de Moraes argued against statements that minimize the violent character of events of January 8, 2023.
The minister exhibited images of the invasion to the Praça dos Três Powers and testimony of the cable of the Military Police of the Federal District Marcela Pinno assaulted with an iron bar.
It was not a walk in the park. No one, absolutely no one was strolling, because everything was blocked and it was necessary to break police barriers
Moraes also referred to digital militias and the case of hairdresser Débora Rodrigues, EE is trapped. The minister voted last week for a sentence of 14 years in prison for her, and the trial was interrupted.
The people of good faith end up being deceived by people of bad faith who, with bad intentions and digital militias, end up saying they were old ladies with the Bible in hand, with lipstick and went there only a lipstick on the statue there
Fux The Divergence
Minister Luiz Fux, who asked for a view and interrupted ona last Monday (24), also mentioned the case and said he will make a revision of the sentence applied.
I will review this dosimetry, because if the dosimetry is inaugurated by the legislator, the penalty is the magistrate. And the magistrate does so in the light of his sensitivity and his feeling in relation to each specific case. […] Under the toga beats a man’s heart, so we need to have this ability to reflect
Fux, who had already diverged from the rest of the first of the class at Tuesday’s session (25) about the case outside the plenary, also praised the work of Moraes as rapporteur of cases.
I know this moment is not to be congratulated, but your work was able to abbreviate our task. Many imagined, ‘Everyone will ask for a view, the complaint is very great.’ Minister Alexandre, in colloquial language, left no stone on stone
‘Mata coup’
Flávio Dino also commented on the discussion about the gravity or not of the acts committed. The minister listed the coup plot with the April 1964 military coup.
It is also said, dear Minister Fux: ‘But no one died.’ On April 1, 64, no one died either, but hundreds and thousands died later. Stop of state kills. It doesn’t matter if this is the day, the following month or a few years later
Dino remembered the film, awarded the Oscar for best international film in 2025.
We have seen this now on screens, because art is a source of law. On the one hand, by the penalty of Marcelo Rubens Paiva, and on the other, the genius of Walter Salles, Fernanda Torres and so many who proud Brazilian culture. What are they showing there? Remarking the permanent and heinous character of the disappearance of people, torture and murder, which derive from? Of a coup
‘Coup Machine’
Minister Cármen Lúcia referred to the book “The Coup, Volume 1” machine, by Minas Gerais historian Heloisa Starling, to highlight “how a blow is not made in one day.”
I myself asked the advance for the 12th of the president’s diplomation [Lula] Initially marked for the 19th, because there was really something I didn’t understand very well. Although there was nothing formalized, because no blow is formalized. Not planned with the scâncaras, although there was a succession of acts and facts
Regarding the performance of the defense lawyers, also commented by Dino, the minister said that the arguments presented did not deny the facts, but only tried to ward off the link between the attitudes of the accused and the events.
There was more than one attempt, therefore, to shut up democratic institutions and to extinguish democracy in Brazil. This is very serious and was recognized by lawyers, who correctly and honestly – as it is the history of the great, good and true lawyers – attest to that they are not favorable because they defend clients with customer conditions. If it weren’t, no killer would have a lawyer
‘Numerous documents’
Finally, the minister and president of the first class, Cristiano Zanin, referred to documentary evidence and countered the argument that the accusations were supported only in Mauro Cid’s allegations.
Far from being a complaint supported exclusively on an award -winning denunciation, what we have here are several documents, videos, devices and materials that support what was presented by the accusation
