The federal deputy (PT-RN) filed with the Chamber an indication to the (Superior Military Court) so that the former president (PL) and four others convicted of the coup plot be declared unworthy for officialdom and.
The nomination is endorsed by another 30 PT members and includes the same recommendation for the former commander of the Navy Santos, the former minister of the (Office of Institutional Security), the former minister of Defense and the former minister of the Civil House.
They were involved in trying to reverse the result of the 2022 elections.
“The crimes committed by the officers represent a direct attack on the Democratic Rule of Law, involving the use of the military structure for coup purposes and violation of ethics, discipline and hierarchy”, says the parliamentarian. “The STM itself has jurisprudence determining loss of rank in much less serious cases, which makes participating in a coup attempt incompatible with official status.”
In the statement, the deputy says that, with the conviction by the STF, “there is no doubt that these criminal officers not only carried out a plan to subvert the Democratic Rule of Law but also made use of the prestige that at least part of the convicts had among members of the Armed Forces to motivate the troops to join that coup attempt”.
She says it is “inconceivable” that officers could be convicted of an attempted coup and still keep their ranks.
“The minimum republican expectation that falls on the STM is to institutionally dissociate the Armed Forces from the coup, affirm that military honor is incompatible with any constitutional rupture and produce jurisprudence capable of preventing future authoritarian adventures”, indicates the text.
