PSD’s national president said that if the climate remains tense between legislature, executive and judiciary, the situation of Brazil could get worse
The national president of the PSD, evaluates that there may be technical justifications for the placement of an electronic anklet in the former president, as well as for his house arrest, but that the political environment may not be best suited for these actions at the moment. The determinations were made last month by the Minister of (STF), as part of the investigation investigating an alleged attempt to coerce the Supreme through American sanctions. The initiative would aim to reverse the trial of the criminal action of the coup, in which the former president is a defendant. “Talking to constitutionalists on the subject, they say there are commas in the Constitution that justify this anklet, but there are commas in politics – and I say – that do not justify,” he said in an interview with the program “Canal Livre”, Bandwhich airs tonight.
The placement of the anklet came after the PF pointed out that Bolsonaro has acted to make it difficult to judge the process attempted to coup after the 2022 elections, and to say that actions could characterize coercion crimes in the course of the process, obstruction of justice and attack on national sovereignty. Moraes also determined house arrest after concluding that Bolsonaro failed to comply with one of the precautionary measures that prohibited him from commenting on social networks, including through third parties. According to the minister, the restriction was violated when the former president greeted protesters in Copacabana, Rio, by telephone, in a connection made by his son, Senator (PL-RJ), who published the video on the networks and then erased the post-episode quoted in the decision.
For Kassab, if the climate remains tense between legislature, executive and judiciary, the situation of the country may get worse. “In the current climb, we will soon have a war between the powers. The three powers, the three institutions, are really having a hard time their stability and coexistence,” he noted. The president of the PSD also commented on the occupation of the table by opposition deputies this week. “The occupation of the table in an inappropriate way contributes nothing to improve the bad image of our legislature. This is creating a removal of society, politics, which is very bad,” he criticized. Kassab also talked about the chairman’s tariff, to the world, with rates specifically high for Brazil.
“So far, it’s a unilateral American position. And that, coming from this partner, affects the internal issues in all fields. So I really hope that over time, the United States form that he is not using the right instruments in the face of the divergences he has on the field of politics,” Trump’s imposition of linking the rise in the ruling to Bolsonaro’s judgment.
About Positions of President Luiz Inacio da Silva, who could have added more breath to Trump to decide that Brazil would have one of the highest rates to export its products to the US, Kassab stated that, as much as the president of Brazil issues his opinions, there is no justification for the US President to present such caliber measures. “If this is reason, it does not justify.”
