The minister of the (Supreme Federal Court) ordered, this Friday (23), the removal of the camps around Papudinha, the place where the former president (PL) is imprisoned in Brasília.
The decision responds to a request from the (Attorney General’s Office) and comes on the eve of an act organized by the right in Brasília, scheduled for this Sunday (25), as a finalization of the one carried out by the deputy (PL-MG), in defense of amnesty for Bolsonaro and the prisoners of the 8th of January.
In its request for intervention, the PGR states that “the protesters promise a ‘peace walk’ (…) with the purpose of causing an overt protest against decisions of the Federal Supreme Court”.
It also mentions that there is “a call for other citizens to join the movement, propagating that the agenda of the act will be ‘justice and freedom’ for those involved in the acts of insurgency on January 8th”.
The decision mentions that “a group of people went to the Federal Penitentiary of Brasília – Complexo da Papuda, where they set up a tent in front of the prison’s headquarters, with the declared objective of exerting pressure on this Supreme Court.”
The PGR requested the adoption of a precautionary measure “of immediate removal and prohibition of access and stay of any individuals who are in front of or in the vicinity” of Papuda. The allegation is the prevention of “possible criminal practice or any acts that could compromise the security of the prison establishment”.
Moraes accepted the PGR’s request and considered that there is a “need to clear public spaces”, claiming that respect for order and public peace was repeatedly declared by the STF. The minister pointed out that the court established “that the right to assembly and freedom of expression do not support the practice of abusive and violent acts, with the intention of attacking the Democratic Rule of Law”.
Rapporteur of the coup plot investigation, which sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months in prison, Moraes cited the January 8 attacks to justify his decision.
The judge considered that that demonstration was an “attempted coup” that “one of the main factors was the omission of several public authorities, which allowed the illegal coup camps in front of the Army barracks.”
Deputy Nikolas Ferreira, digital leader of Bolsonaroism, began a walk from Belo Horizonte to Brasília last Monday (19), in defense of amnesty for Bolsonaro and those arrested on January 8th.
Along the way, other names from Bolsonarism joined the walk, such as deputies Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ), Luciano Zucco (PL-RS) and Rodrigo Valadares (União-SE), in addition to senator Magno Malta (PL-ES).
According to people familiar with the organization, the event should take place during the afternoon at Praça do Cruzeiro, in the central region of Brasília, and there are no plans for sound cars or big screens.
The walk is expected to arrive in the late afternoon along BR-040 (Via Epia), in the vicinity of the old Bus Station, following the climb to Eixo Monumental, and should be attended by federal deputy Bia Kicis (PL-DF), one of the organizers, upon arrival.
