A-not for any crime you committed, but for making a message to social networks-illustrates a common dynamic: the supreme imposes abusive restrictions and the right challenges the Supreme because it wants to knock it down. We are seeing the shock between two unconed visions that promise to climb even more.
For one, we live the constant attack on democracy by the far right. Against this, the Supreme cannot watch inert while the country’s institutions are knocked out. A coup place is in jail and who is outraged by this is because they are on the side of the coup.
For the other, we live the dictatorship of the Supreme, in which a minister can determine everything he wants without any limit. Determines investigations, censorship and arrests against the right and who dare to make criticism of the electronic ballot boxes. He is a victim, investigator and judge; hold or loose based on posts on social networks. He got used to giving illegal orders and then harshly punished those who fail.
What if both visions are wrong? A surprising result of Datafolha indicates this possibility: one is opposed to amnesty to the January 8 prisoners and a plurality of the suspension of the American visa of Moraes (against 42% contrary). Many people who do not tolerate Bolsonaro and also do not swallow Moraes.
Bolsonaro proven to have sought to convince generals to endorse a blow and made false accusations of ballot fraud to try to invalidate the election. His PRF () tried to block voters’ access to the polls. At the end of history, his most fanatized followers invaded the three powers in the hope of provoking the dreamed military intervention. There is no persecution in taking you to trial.
Moraes didn’t do it for less. Abuses add up to censorship to a Crusoe story in 2019. Prohibition of use of social networks indefinitely, inquiries of craft of the Supreme who extend to this day, seeking reasons that justify arrest based on social networks; Investigation of entrepreneurs for banal speeches in a group of WhatsApp; Filipe Martins’s improper pre -trial detention that extended for months. Prisons to the invaders of the 8 January longer than those of killers. And all this in the Supreme, which is already the last instance. Is it difficult to glimpse the annulment of these and other judgments when the political tide change?
None of this happened in a vacuum. The skill of the Supreme took place in the midst of a real movement to undermine our democracy, lodge our elections and, after losing them, to blow a coup. The problem of exceptional powers is that, after the threat that justified its use, they tend to remain. Self -restarting is a virtue praised in discourse and despised in practice. In August last year, Minister Barroso opined that the end of the fake news inquiry “is not distant.” To this day, nothing.
The largest disaster of the American sanction is to make it difficult to contain these abusive powers of the Supreme. Recently, Fux with other ministers of the first class. Would others come? They will hardly come now, when diverging from Moraes will bring the pecha of betrayal and cowardice. It also made it difficult for Congress to expect movements to contain excesses of the Supreme. Only public opinion remains.
