About as Minister of Justice in the Jair Bolsonaro government:
“The fight against corruption is only legitimate if there is unrestricted respect for the Constitution, a characteristic that Moro, as a judge, never cultivated.”
About Moro:
“Criminal law is something too serious to be presented as a panacea.”
Regarding the minister’s role in the STF:
“In the Mensalão he allowed himself to be carried away by judicial populism, promoting a moral discourse, leaving aside the evidence in the case that would have led to the acquittal of many of the defendants; in Lava Jato, after irregularities in the first instance came to light, he resumed a more technical, guarantor judgement”.
About the minister’s performance no STF:
“She is an experienced and considered judge. Sometimes she errs on a whim, with very serious consequences. In the name of maintaining a supposed stability of decisions, she crystallizes enormous injustice that throws thousands of people who should be free into our medieval penitentiary system.”
About the minister inviting, during the Jair Bolsonaro government, General Fernando Azevedo to advise him at the STF:
“The invitation is very strange. The general, an extremely experienced military man, does not have any legal training. His role at court, it seems, will be political. The invitation can be understood as an attempt to achieve greater harmony between the military and the three Powers. The appointment, however, is quite inopportune and does not point to the pacification of the country.”
