“We had an attempt to coup d’état, on January 8, 2023, and the institutions reacted, knew how to act within what the Constitution established. We can really, with errors and hits, because this is part of any institution composed of human beings, they end up repeating the mistakes of humans. Exactly that is why the judiciary is a collegiate organ, so that some will be correct,” Rapporteur of the case of the coup plot in the Supreme Court.
Recent decisions of Moraes against Bolsonaro, such as the ban on the use of social networks, were in the legal environment, and the home arrest order, on the grounds that the situation turned the political scenario at an inappropriate time.
On Monday, the minister’s speech played at points for which pockets criticize him, such as collegiate decisions – is attacked by the group for their monocratic orders. In front of the ECA, before the event began, there were six people with green and yellow shirts, carrying flags from Brazil, protesting against the minister, who suffered sanctions from the government after pressure from the pockets.
The minister, although defended the independence of the judiciary, stated that the strengthening of institutions “obviously does not mean brigadeiro sky” and recalled that since redemocratization, the country has undergone two impeachments, besides the January 8 episode.
“It is urgently necessary that we all who work in the legal world should make a mea guilt, which is to ensure more legal certainty,” said Moraes.
The magistrate stated that it is also necessary to act to expand the public safety of states and that it would be important to ensure greater integration between them – a demand made especially by right -wing governors, such as Tarcísio de Freitas himself, who participated in another agenda in the area of security, less than 1 km from the venue of the ECA event.
Within the auditorium where he spoke, the minister was received with applause and defended by those present with speeches that transformed the event, aimed at discussing the topics of law, in a defense of his performance. “Everyone we are Democrats we owe a lot to Minister Alexandre,” said the Minister of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) Floriano de Azevedo Marques Neto.
“It is true that democracy itself has never been attacked since the redemocratization of the world, post-Great War. And if it is true that it has been attacked by a new extremist populism, we cannot pretend that there are no foundations that allowed this undemocratic discourse to flourish. And that is where institutions should be strengthened to see how to attack these foundations,” Moraes said.
According to the minister, the rise of extremist populism has occurred worldwide as a result of income distribution problems.
“It is up to the verification of which reforms in the legal and political-electoral system [podemos fazer] So that people are more represented, to have more voice, so that we can together reduce this great problem that, I repeat, generated fertile ground to, around the world, this extremist populism, “he added.
Attorney General of São Paulo, Paulo Sérgio de Oliveira and Costa claimed to be “inadmissible that the legitimate exercise of legal attributions by a magistrate of the highest court of this country motivates sanction by head of foreign government.” The moment he mentioned this, the present audience interrupted the speech to applaud him.
