The clash between the minister, and the Spanish justice on the extradition of the evidence of the “diplomatic dwarfism of the”, says the chairman of the Chamber’s Foreign Relations Commission (PL-PR), ally of the former president (PL).
On Tuesday (15), Moraes, accused in Spain of drug trafficking. The measure was taken a day after the, as requested by the Brazilian government after the decree of pre -trial detention by the Supreme Court.
In the decision, the STF minister cites the requirement of reciprocity provided for in the Migration Law and the extradition treaty between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Kingdom of Spain, formalized in 1990. He also determined that the Government of Spain, through its embassy, ”provides information in five days, proving the requirement of reciprocity.”
Filipe Barros disputes Moraes’s decision. “Extradition or not is the exclusive act of the President of the Republic, not the judiciary,” he argues. “It is up to the Supreme Court only for formal analysis, not merit or convenience.”
Asked if the episode would impair bilateral Brazil-spain relations, the parliamentarian stated that “totally”.
According to him, the case proves “Itamaraty’s diplomatic dwarfism, which gives up foreign policy to the judiciary.” “It demonstrates, once again, to other countries, the politicization of members of the Brazilian judiciary,” he adds.
Itamaraty, in turn, evaluates that the episode will not have any impact on the relationship between countries because it is an issue involving the Brazilian and Spanish judiciary, not the governments themselves. Ministry members add that the relationship between countries is very good.
