The critique of a (CEMDP) member to a request from the collegiate himself to gain access to Armed Forces files in the dictatorship caused discomfort in the group.
On July 14, to reiterate the request, which had already been made in March through a letter. In the document, “formally requested the access of its members to the information centers linked to military organizations of the Armed Forces of Brazil”.
The objective, argued CEMDP, is to “accomplish diligences’ in loco” that enable the identification of the existing collection, as well as the location of documents that can be essential to clarifying the facts [ocorridos durante a ditadura]”(…),” in particular the circumstances of forced disappearances and extrajudicial executions “.
the Union lawyer, head of the Special Advisory of Institutional Relations of the Ministry of Defense and representative of the portfolio at CEMDP, considered that the diffuse scope of the request would make it difficult to access.
“The very request made by the commission is, let’s put it, Platonic. It is in the plan of ideas, there is nothing palpable. They ask for access to the files and do not or which military units they would like to have access. They made a generic request. So, I want to access, but I do not know what I want to access,” said Abitta.
Having a seat in both organs and being a trusted advisor to Múcio, it was the lawyer who articulated the July 14 meeting.
According to the report, Apritta’s comment was considered embarrassing and diverse by his committee colleagues.
Sought, the chairman of the board, the prosecutor, said that the CEMDP request “is as specific as possible, considering that the major problem in Brazil is that there is not even an inventory about the documents maintained by the armed forces related to the dictatorship period.”
“It is this type of taboo that CEMDP wants to face, so that the position of the counselor caused us surprise, because he participated in the preparation of the document sent to the Ministry of Defense. We continue to seek what is the right of the Brazilian people,” said the committee chairman.
