SÃO PAULO, SP (FOLHAPRESS) - Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), pre-candidate for the Presidency, defended this Tuesday (4) the impeachment of ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Court) who, according to him, committed crimes of responsibility. He named ministers Alexandre de Moraes, Flávio Dino and Cristiano Zanin by name, and recalled that, if elected, he will have the prerogative to make four nominations that "respect the Constitution".
Flávio Bolsonaro attacks Moraes, Dino and Zanin and defends impeachment in the STF
SÃO PAULO, SP (FOLHAPRESS) - Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), pre-candidate for the Presidency, defended this Tuesday (4) the impeachment of ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Court) who, according to him, committed...
The son of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) stated that there are ministers who have political party participation and who judge cases in which they should consider themselves suspects. "Unfortunately, due to the Senate's inertia, we have reached this situation in which a court minister, for example Alexandre de Moraes, can take unconstitutional measures with practically no assurance that anything would happen to him," he said.
Flávio stated that it is necessary to talk about this subject "without fear" and said that his father was judged by his enemies, citing Moraes, "public and declared enemy", Dino, "until yesterday Lula's Minister of Justice", and Zanin, "until yesterday Lula's lawyer".
The speech took place during a hearing on the website O Antagonista and the company G4, in Vila Olímpia, in São Paulo, which also included the participation of presidential candidates Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), Romeu Zema (Novo) and Renan Santos (Missão). According to the organizers, President Lula (PT) did not accept the invitation.
Flávio also stated that the impeachment of ministers depends on the Senate and that his political group will have a majority in Congress after the October elections. "This mess that has turned the country around today needs someone with a firm hand, yes. We will have a majority in the National Congress, a majority to make the president of the Senate and have a quorum, including, to change the Constitution."
The senator also admitted that he is experiencing a "soap opera" when choosing his vice-president - the name can be chosen until August 15th, the deadline for registering the candidacy. Flávio faces difficulties in attracting parties from the center to his coalition, which needs to be defined by this Wednesday (5).
The PP and the Republicans have already announced that they will maintain neutrality, which prevented the presidential candidate's intention to nominate Daniella Marques (Republicans), former president of Caixa Econômica Federal, or senator Tereza Cristina (PP) as vice president.
This Tuesday, Flávio praised Daniella at length, said that "it is public" that he would "very much like" her to occupy the position, and stated that he made this clear in his dealings with the Republicans. The senator, who had confirmed his presence at the event, ended up participating only via videoconference, but Daniella attended.
He stated that, despite the party chiefs having "some concerns", the main members of the parties will support his project.
During the hearing, Flávio also accused the Federal Police of trying to interfere to disrupt investigations involving businessman Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha, the president's son.
The senator made many positive mentions of his father's government, at the same time that he positioned himself as someone different from him, following a strategy adopted months ago during the pre-campaign.
In front of businesspeople, he promised fiscal responsibility and cost cutting and corrected a previous statement of his, when he promised that he would give free cell phones to women. He said that, in fact, he was referring to a credit card program with "cashback", which would allow the refund of amounts and exchange for products.
"We are going to take Caixa and it will be Bradesco or Itaú from the favelas, which will be exactly so that the most humble people can have a range of services at their fingertips."
The former governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, criticized his opponents this Tuesday for disputes involving relatives. He also defended the death penalty in some cases, such as serial killers and repeated rapists.
Without mentioning names, Zema criticized politicians who took relatives to work in their governments, such as his opponent Ronaldo Caiado. As Folha de S.Paulo showed, the man from Goiás left at least ten relatives in commissioned positions in the state he governed until the end of March. Zema has hit this key against his opponent, who shares with him the intention of composing the third way.
The candidate also spoke of politicians "being blackmailed because someone in their family is involved in this or that." The two main names in voting intention polls for the presidential election, Lula (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro, have family issues.
In Lula's case, the PF (Federal Police) requested on Monday (3) the opening of a third front of investigation against the president's son, to investigate suspicions of influence peddling.
"We see a weakened president today, who keeps giving in to pressure because people in his family are involved in scandals," he said.
Flávio Bolsonaro had to respond by calling former banker Daniel Vorcaro. “A criminal banker who lives in Belo Horizonte never came to me,” said Zema, in reference to Vorcaro.
He also said that the fact that he doesn't have a "tail tied" is what gives him credit for being the one who most criticizes the STF (Supreme Federal Court) and stated that there are "rotten fruits" in the court. Zema did not name the ministers by name, but made direct reference to Alexandre de Moraes, Dias Toffoli and Gilmar Mendes.
"Everyone knows who these three [ministers] are. The one whose wife made a contract worth R$129 million, the one who made a transaction of R$35 million from Tayayá and the other who holds congresses sponsored by the bandit banker. And all three hitch a ride on the bandit banker's jets. This is a shame for Brazil," he stated.
Zema also defended the death penalty for serial killers and repeat rapists during the hearing.
Regarding the ticket for the election, he said that his vice-president should be announced on Wednesday (5) and that the composition will probably be pure, with another name from the Novo party.
In the economy, the miner proposed four fronts. The first, he stated, is privatization. "There is no sacred cow. There is nothing
