The chief minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, Gleisi Hoffmann, classified as “very serious offense” the new post of the deputy secretary of the US State Department, Christopher Landau.
“The arrogant post of the Under -Secretary of State of the US is a very serious offense to Brazil, the Supreme Court (STF) and the truth,” said Gleisi.
Gleisi reacted by saying that “who tried to usurp power in our country was Jair Bolsonaro”; The former president is a defendant in a lawsuit, under the rapporteur of STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes, for integrating what would be a coup plan against the result of the 2022 election.
“No Brazilian constitutional power is powerless. On the contrary: Executive, Legislative and Judiciary have rejected the January 8 coup, Trump’s blackmail, the Bolsonist riot for amnesty and violent sanctions against Minister Alexandre de Moraes and other STF ministers.”

“A single STF minister usurped dictatorial power by threatening leaders of other powers, or their families, with detention, prison or other penalties,” said the US government representative under the presidency of Donald Trump.
Classifying the situation as “unprecedented and anomalous” – “it is always possible to negotiate with leaders of the executive or legislative powers of a country, but not with a judge” – Landau charged the “other powers” of Brazil.
“We find ourselves in a dead end: the usurper is covered by the rule of law, while the other powers claim to be powerless to react,” he said.
The US has recently determined financial sanctions against Moraes based on magnitsky law, applied to those, from an American perspective, is violating human rights or is related to cases of corruption around the world.
Recent US tariffs on a series of Brazilian products also came with justifications related to Moraes’s performance.
The Trump government criticizes Moraes and the Brazilian judiciary for criminal proceedings against ally and former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and by decisions against US social networks and digital platforms, for content removal and blockage of profiles on the grounds of acting against the Democratic Rule of Law.
Moraes is a rapporteur of the process that puts Bolsonaro and others as defendants for integrating what would be a coup plan against the result of the 2022 election.
