Illustrious:
We share, you and I, with the (in your 1968) and the Jaruzelski coup in Poland (in 1981), the anniversary date. As a gift, I offer you this text in defense of your honor. The publication of the document caused the spread of gratuitous suspicions. I do not remain silent in the face of injustice.
People are suspicious. It’s scary: acquaintances, even passers-by, approached me suggesting that the contract would indicate ethical deviations or even corruption. I tried to explain to them the absurdity contained in the suspicion. The contract, of unusual values, only reveals the unparalleled competence of your wife, to whom I ask to convey my congratulations. The insinuation that, as a couple, you would confabulate about confidential private contracts and processes is not an abominable perversity.
it must be said, needs to be considered innocent until an unlikely conviction. The former owner of Master has undeniable qualities. He sponsored several expensive events, here and abroad, aimed at disseminating national legal thought, with the illustrious presence of politicians, businesspeople and STF ministers (including his own). This is called cultural philanthropy. I digress, however: Vorcaro’s innocence or guilt are not at stake.
Years ago, PT members labeled you as “fascist”, remember? Now, it is the Bolsonarists who insult you as a “tyrant”. According to the New Yorker, you once calmed your security guards by assuring them that “the hero never dies at the beginning of the story.” Irony, of course, but true: you are a hero of democracy.
The leak of the contract serves the Bolsonarists, enemies of democracy. Well, quickly, by jet!, Toffoli took the Master case to the STF forum and decreed it. The allegation was opportunistic, we know, but justice needs to defend itself, even at the expense of the law. From now on, the PF will avoid new revelations and, with them, endless cycles of perfidious journalistic speculation. Democracy breathes better away from exaggerated scrutiny.
“Unhappy is the nation that needs heroes,” said playwright Bertolt Brecht. It was wrong, in the case of Brazil. Here’s what’s true: “happy is the nation that has the privilege of having a hero like Alexandre de Moraes.” The corrected sentence should be sent to your colleague Fachin, who emerged –right now!– with a strange proposition. I hope it’s naive, as it sounds like you’re colluding with the scammers: the proposal is equivalent to a slap in the face of you and your partner.
Apply “militant democracy”, in the expression popularized by . How about the STF declaring the idea of the code of conduct unconstitutional? It is enough to invoke the neoconstitutionalist doctrine, which preaches the resignification of the letter of the law in light of the general principles of the Constitution. Democracy is a constitutional pillar. In the current circumstances, the mere suggestion of such a code serves as a flag for the enemies of democracy – and, therefore, violates the Greater Law. Kill it in the crib. In the chest. Heroically.
My birthday present arrives a week late. It’s on purpose: I waited for possible new leaks to contest the entire coup attack. Nothing came, everything under “constitutional control”. Happy birthday, hero.
