In a vote that so much satisfaction led to the defendants of the coup plot, the minister of (Supreme Federal Court) included a gift that even the most hopeful pockets imagined receiving.
Not only did he call the acts of January 8, 2023 vandalism, unrelated to a coup, as he compared them at some delicate historical moments to the left.
Spreading the dust of the National Collection of Scandals, he cited, which is about to turn 20.
The pile of cash found with coordinators of the 2006 presidential campaign did not have the historical impact of or, but it represented a stain on the president’s image, toppled the PT command and briefly threatened his reelection.
“A mountain of money appeared that was collected by alloprades. It is not known the authorship,” the minister recalled in his vote.
Another dive in the tunnel of time and we arrived at 2013, when Brazil was presented to the groups of vandals that ended “against everything” demonstrations with a breakdown of bank branches, shops and subway stations.
They came back to the 2014 guys. Fairly or unfairly, they ended up being associated much more to the radical left than to the right, which was still an incipient political movement, in a distant era when Bolsonaro was just a low clergy deputy
Today happily relegated to a footnote of history, the Black Blocs were rescued by the minister’s vote.
“None of these cases, arising from these violent political manifestations, was considering imputing to their officials the crimes provided for in the National Security Law, which repeated the willingness to try to change, for violence or serious threat, the Democratic Rule of Law,” he said.
Fux could have cited other examples, thus completing the list of moral equivalences normally presented on the right.
In 2006, shortly before the aloprades case, a group linked to an obscure landless movement invaded the House of Representatives, causing great destruction.
In 2017, in buildings of the Esplanade of Ministries against reforms of the Michel Temer government. The then president, considered “coup” on the left, had to call military to control the situation.
None of these demonstrations, however, brought together people whose project had to overthrow the government on the occasion, as was the delirious desire of the participants of the.
Nor did they gather advocates of the dictatorship or the closure of institutions that are pillars of the democratic system. Not even the ruggles who attacked Congress in 2005 spoke to close it.
Fux thus made a huge favor to pockets by adopting the comparison between the acts of 2023 and the previous ones for its face value.
With his doctrinally dense vote, a voice-up and air of gravity, the minister gave legal support to what was still basically a thesis of social networks of the former president’s allies.
It seems that Fux will be an isolated voice in the first class, although not so lonely in the Supreme Set.
In this case, it matters in this case, their unique vote among the five who judge the pockets, and further reception to theses that can be used in the future by allies of the former president to seek some kind of nullity of the process.
One is that for Fux, a broken window is always a broken glass, the motivation and, above all, the ultimate goal of the brick.
