The announcement of the president of, a 50% surcharge on Brazilian products should not relevant to the progress of the judgment of (PL) by the (Supreme Court), but may affect the case of his son (PL-SP).
The evaluation is from ministers, people close to them, advisors and lawyers involved in the processes heard by the report.
Eduardo, a licensed federal deputy, is investigated under the suspicion of committing coercion, obstruction of investigation and violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law.
The Attorney General of the Republic, said that the parliamentarian may have committed crimes by acting with foreign authorities in the US against members of the Supreme, (Attorney General’s Office) and.
The minister last week to give more time to new Federal Police diligence.
People with knowledge of the case evaluate that the announcement of the fare and the deputy’s publications and statements on the subject can reinforce the understanding that Eduardo has acted against Brazilian institutions and tried to interfere with the father’s case.
Trump justified the surcharge as a reaction to what he classified as a “witch hunt” to Bolsonaro. He also cited “censorship orders” for American social media platforms.
The statements are in line with what Eduardo has defended with American authorities. He has claimed that his father is the subject of judicial persecution and that Moraes is responsible for censoring residents and companies in the country and thus commits violations of human rights.
In a letter released on the day of the announcement of the tariff, signed with former presenter Paulo Figueiredo, Eduardo asked Brazilian authorities, which would be the application of tariffs from August 1.
At the beginning of the text, the parliamentarian says that Trump’s “confirms the success” of the dialogue he maintains with authorities of the Republican government.
“In recent months, we have kept intense dialogue with authorities of President Trump’s government – with the aim of presenting, with precision and documents, the reality that Brazil lives today. The president of the United States only confirms the success in the transmission of what we have been presenting seriously and responsibly.”
The pair also says that the sanctions to Moraes “will possibly be added” in the retaliation combo to Brazil.
Earlier this month, the STF minister included a video posted by Eduardo no X as an alleged proof that the parliamentarian would remain interfering in the coup plot process and, therefore, there would be the need for continuity of findings.
Last Friday (11), the deputy. The statement was made in X shortly after the governor of, (Republicans), found in Brasilia, Gabriel Escobar, and made a publication on social networks preaching the negotiation.
In the testimony he gave to the PF for the investigation, Bolsonaro was asked about Eduardo’s sources of support in the US, if the PL transfers resources to him and with whom he articulates to actions with the US authorities – which would indicate paths of the investigators.
In the case of the process in which the former president is a defendant, the assessment of ministers, advisors and lawyers is that the process already has a course designed, and there would be no reason to change it after Trump’s letter.
The first class of the Supreme Court must judge from September that of the complaint of PGR. The Court tries to complete the action this year under the justification of.
Earlier last week, after Trump’s first statements in defense of Bolsonaro, about the progress of the process. Even after economic measures, they evaluate that the US president’s decision has an eminently political character.
For a court minister heard under reserve, the statement could eventually “increase dislike” over Bolsonaro and make his situation worse.
An advisor and lawyers have also considered the possibility that Trump’s pressure has the opposite result and provoking a hardening of the posture of the ministers. Still, they pondered more elements at stake and say you will need to wait.
Hours after Trump’s letter ,. The two agreed that the response to the episode should be given by the roads of politics and diplomacy. Barroso also spoke the next day with the Foreign Minister ,. The conversation had the same content.
