The minister, of the (Supreme Federal Court), said on Friday (22) that the Court cannot intensify conflicts or make decisions that “kill Brazilian sovereignty”.
Earlier this week, he ordered, in a decision on the tragedy of Mariana (MG), that. The measure sought to shield his STF colleague from the impact of the magnitsky law – by the government of.
Dino also stated that the Supreme Court “will not resign the role of protector of the institutions.”
“Today, there is a nation that thinks it can impose a law with a sanction. Tomorrow, it may be a commercial competition, against, for example, one of the economic heritage of our country, which is agriculture,” he said at the ceremony in Salvador in which he received the title of Bahian citizen, granted by the Legislative Assembly of Bahia.
For the minister, the Supreme “cannot intensify conflicts”. “We have to ensure safety, stability, predictability, seek harmony, but without prevarication, fear and without just looking at here and now.”
Dino returned to mock the financial market after Brazilian banks shares a strong fall this week in reaction to his decision and said the Supreme Court cannot measure its actions by the impact they may have on the sector.
“This is not a judicial issue: it is a matter of market or politics. The Supreme cannot fail to decide the right because the market, this mythical and immaterial entity, which they say exist, is calm or nervous,” he said.
Asked by the attacks he received from federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL), who called him “Communist Old School” after the decision, Dino dodged and said he does not rebut political provocations. “Especially because this gentleman is a defendant in the Supreme and investigated in the Supreme, which means that at some point I may judge him.”
The minister also defended the STF’s actions on parliamentary amendments, many of them reported by him.
“It is not up to the judiciary to prevent the existence of these amendments, but it is up to the judiciary to deal with the rails of constitutionality and legality, so that the money has identified origin, a certain destination. May this money, therefore, leave the Federal Government, the federal government, and effectively reach the citizens.”
