Incredible as it may seem, the Lula (PT) government says it is calm with the newly created . By one vote, Fabiano Contarato (PT-ES). He also has some confidence in the rapporteur, Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE). But that’s not the main reason.
A government member asks me who will be in the CPI’s “dock”. Squid? The PT? , Minister of Justice and Public Security? Governors? , from Rio? Or will they summon Fernandinho Beira-Mar, a leader whose whereabouts are known (a federal prison)?
The question is tricky because such a complex problem must have many people involved. Until the culprits are identified for the current state of affairs, I say with relative ease that human rights will be in the dock.
The leader of the PT, Rogério Carvalho (SE), states that the right chose to form the CPI. I remove “bandit” from the list of adjectives and continue with “pyrotechnic”. Among the Bolsonaro supporters, the most moderate was vice-president of Jair Bolsonaro () —Hamilton Mourão (Republicanos-RS).
It is true that Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), Magno Malta (PL-ES) and Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE) have some expertise in making noise. Former Minister of Public Security Sergio Moro (União Brasil-PR) ditto. But this is not the only advantage of the right and the extreme right.
While a large part of the center and the left don’t know what to say even about an operation with , the right says quite naturally that a good criminal is a dead criminal. If you’re going to shoot, let it be in the head (Castro, , say so).
I have the impression that even members of the CPI know that it did not need to exist. Much less a year before the elections, with an ongoing dispute over screen time. It’s hard to expect an honest debate when one side and the other can step on bodies.
