No program Last analysis of this Wednesday (30)the guests analyzed Donald Trump’s historic decision, which applied the magnitsky law against Alexandre de Moraes. The minister will now be subject to various economic sanctions, which include blockade of goods and properties in the United States, as well as prohibits US citizens from conducting any transaction with the indefinite measure.
On the same day, MEPs also requested the application of sanctions against Moraes, for the same reasons pointed out by the US government. “Since 2019, Minister Moraes has unilaterally assumed the roles of investigator, prosecutor and judge, issuing secret orders to censor political speeches, freeze assets and arresting critics without due process of law,” said the 16 MEPs.
“A prisoner within Brazil”, thus defined the current situation of Moraes the journalist Rafael Fontana. According to him, the minister will be marked forever, both the first Brazilian, and the first judge of the Supreme Court, to be included in a list in which they appear, for example, bloodthirsty dictators and narcoterrorists.
In addition to the punishment of Moraes himself, the sanction may extend to the STF itself as a whole, promoting a waterfall effect. “The STF all today a cloud, besides the system to hold hearings, which belong to American companies. If you take this, how does the STF work?” Asks writer Francisco Escorsim.
In an official note, the Supreme Court immediately sympathized with Moraes, stating that Moraes’s judgments followed the “due process” and that all decisions were confirmed by the board. Journalist André Marsiglia mocks the position and says it is a “legal process of Narnia,” as she ignored all the accusations of the Republican president.
“Tariff” is officialized
On the same day, Donald Trump officialized the 50% surcharge on Brazilian products. In the document, the Republican states that it is “facing a national emergency” and that the measure should take effect in seven days from the publication, which would change the starting date from 1º August to 6.
“When these tariffs come on the same day as’ magnitsky ‘, it is obvious that we have a’ Moraes tariff.” suggests Marsiglia. For the jurist, therefore, the bottom reason, both of the application of the “magnitsky law” and the imposition of a surcharge, are the judicial mischief of Moraes and, therefore, the issue is not merely economic.
Marsiglia points out that Trump’s attitudes are a sign to call Brazil for a conversation, which Lula seems to ignore. “If he gives up talking to us, it will be the big problem. So we will have a serious break with the world. This is the most dangerous point,” he warns.
PT Choose the bravado
Minister Gleisi Hoffman (PT) of institutional relations said that the position of the Brazilian government is that of “total repudiation” to the decision of the United States. The petista’s criticism occurred even before the release of a Lula position on the measure. “He doesn’t care. Lula doesn’t have bargaining power, he doesn’t understand the complexity of the situation. He’s not the STF’s hand,” said Marsiglia.
“If Brazil does not take the initiatives, the country will suffer let’s match the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro, leader of narcoterrorism. That’s what we are in the level. In Venezuela, the best known figure is Maduro. At this time, in Brazil, he is the sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes,” criticized Fontana.
