Months after complaining and committed a gaffe during the testimonials of the coup plot, the Attorney General of the Republic, returned to the comfort zone when speaking in the judgment of the main core of the case. Its had a positive assessment among ministers in the Federal Supreme Court.
Gonet positioned himself at the session last Tuesday (2) of the judgment succinctly, in which he reiterated accusations about the coup plot involving the former president () and refuted arguments from the defenses.
He spoke for about an hour and ten minutes, despite having a two -hour time limit for his demonstration.
Known for his polished tone and using difficult to understand phrases, Gonet used a device to make his speech more didactic: he did before entering the most detailed part of the accusations.
He had done the same earlier in writing in February.
The introduction of Tuesday’s speech of a rigid Tom stated that the absence of punishment for the attempted coup could incite new authoritarian initiatives.
“Do not criminally repress attempts of this order [golpista]as they show actually and abroad reports, it recruits ultimate authoritarianism and endangers the model of civilized life, “he said.
The Attorney General of the Republic made the demonstration at a time when he was confident of continuing his management ahead of the. A week earlier, the president (PT) signed the term of office. Gonet has to pass the Senate approval for this to happen.
A few months earlier, in May, he had suffered for his performance during witness hearings in the coup plot.
In May, under reserve, Supreme Ministers criticized Gonet’s performance during the testimony of former army chief Marco Freire Gomes.
One of the reasons was the way the Attorney General led the questioning to the witness, without lifting contradictions and digressions to confirm whether the general’s response could be understood as narrated in the complaint.
Freire Gomes said, for example, that he was not amazed when Bolsonaro presented the first draft of the coup decree to military commanders. He said that the former president dealt with the text as a study, based on the Constitution, and would return to the subject after consulting other assistants.
“I can say, then, that he was preparing the lords, with legal reasons, to present more to follow intervention measures he was already anticipating he was going to take?” Gonet asked.
Lawyer Celso Vilardi, who defends Bolsonaro, said Gonet’s question sought to direct the general’s answer. The minister denied the order of order, and Vilardi’s microphone was cut.
“Doctor Paulo Gonet, not necessarily. Perhaps he presented us for consideration, since some aspects of the documents referred to Glo [Garantia da Lei e da Ordem]state of defense and state of siege, “replied the former commander.
Days later, in the testimony of Aldo Rebelo, Gonet committed a gaffe during a tense session, in which Moraes even threatened to arrest the former defense minister.
With the microphone open while Moraes spoke, he said :. His reaction was recorded after asking the former minister if he considered that the Navy would have given up the coup d’état because the army had not adhered to the conspiracies.
The questioning was considered very broad, making room for an opinion instead of the testimony about facts. “Doctor Paulo, ask objectively, and the witness please answer objectively. What is the question, Doctor Paulo, please?” Moraes said before Gonet’s speech with the open microphone.
On Tuesday, after his speech at, Gonet was the target of some complaints from lawyers of the accused, because he had to be absent after reading the prosecution.
In his place, the Federal Public Prosecution Service was represented by the Deputy Attorney General, Paulo Vasconcelos Jacobina, who usually operates in the sessions of the first class.
At the end of the day, Jacobina stated that the Attorney General of the Republic had a scheduled agenda for months on the island of Marajó, Pará. He would receive a contribution from the Queen of Sweden to combat crimes of abuse against children.
Next week, according to PGR, Gonet will again participate in the trial sessions, when the votes of the ministers will be presented.
