The Attorney General’s Office (AGU) filed an appeal before the Federal Regional Court of the Third Region (TRF-3) to revoke the decision that forced President Jair Bolsonaro to deliver to the courts “the reports of all the exams” carried out to verify if the agent was infected or not by the new coronavirus. By decision of the judge on duty Mónica Nobre, Bolsonaro no longer needs to reveal the documents this Saturday 2.
In its decision, made during the TRF-3 vacation shift, the judge suspended, for a period of five days, compliance with the decision that required Bolsonaro to deliver within 48 hours all the documents of the covid-19 tests. The judge decided to extend the term for the reporter in the second instance to analyze the Union’s arguments.
The SP Federal Justice decision, now suspended by TRF-3, was made after the government sent a report on Friday, signed by two doctors from the Presidency of the Republic on March 18, reporting that Bolsonaro was asymptomatic and it had turned out negative. for the disease
For Judge Ana Lúcia, the Presidency document does not “completely” comply with the court order of last Monday. Earlier this week, the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo guaranteed the right to obtain the covid-19 tests carried out by Bolsonaro. By decision of the judge, the Union was forced to provide “the reports of all examinations” performed by the agent
Bolsonaro has already said the result was negative, but he refuses to reveal the documents: in an interview with Radio Guaíba, from Rio Grande do Sul, last Thursday, the president admitted that “perhaps” he was infected with the new coronavirus.
“I may have detected this virus in the past, maybe, maybe, and I didn’t even feel it,” the president said in an interview with Porto Alegre radio. The president already carried out two tests to determine if he was infected with the disease, on March 12 and 17, and announced that the results were negative, but he refused to present them.
The medical report presented by the AGU to the Federal Justice of São Paulo is signed by the Presidential medical assistant, the orthopedic and traumatology specialist Marcelo Zeitoune, and the Presidency Health coordinator, the urologist Guilherme Guimarães Wimmer.
The state sought Zeitoune, who said by phone that he could not give further details about the evidence. “Higher orders,” he said. Regarding the fact that Bolsonaro sought an orthopedist for an alleged covid-19, he said: “I am an orthopedist and a doctor. My specialty is orthopedics. I am part of the team.”
The government also wanted the medical report to be kept confidential because it involved information deemed personal to the president, which was denied by the judge. “The lack of transparency is absolute. The Court’s decision ordered that the results of an examination be added. There is no result of an examination, therefore, the decision was not followed,” said state prosecutor Afranio Affonso Ferreira Neto.
Risk
In response to Justice, the AGU noted that last month’s medical report reports that Jair Bolsonaro “has been monitored by the medical team”, and concludes that “therefore, there is no health risk of contagion / spread by of the President of the Republic, a since it has not shown, until now, host of the new coronavirus “. “The medical report attests to the results of the tests performed,” says the AGU
At least 23 people who accompanied the Brazilian president on his trip to the United States were later diagnosed with the disease. Among them, close assistants, such as the Secretary of Social Communication of the Presidency of the Republic, Fabio Wajngarten, and the minister of the Office of Institutional Security (GSI), General Augusto Heleno.
After repeatedly questioning the Palacio de Planalto and the President himself about the dissemination of the results of the examination, the State filed a lawsuit in which it states “restricting the access of the population to information of public interest”, which culminates in the ” full freedom of journalistic information censorship. “
The Presidency of the Republic refused to provide the newspaper with the data through the Access to Information Law, arguing that “it refers to the privacy, privacy, honor and image of protected persons with restricted access.”
Agglomerations
In recent weeks, the president has not followed the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health itself, touring the Federal District and its surroundings, greeting people and forming crowds around him.
This Saturday, Bolsonaro caused a large crowd of people in the city of Cristalina (GO), 150 kilometers from Brasilia.
Passing through a service station in the city, accompanied by security guards and representatives of the Cristalina municipality, the president greeted dozens of people, including the elderly and children. Despite having a mask around his neck, the President remained the entire time without wearing the protection correctly. He hugged several people.
Inside the gas station where he stopped, Bolsonaro drank coffee, ate cakes and again criticized the social isolation of those around him. “This is irresponsibility, irresponsibility,” he said.
Bolsonaro has already downplayed the severity of the pandemic, referring to the new coronavirus as “influenzazinha” and “cold.” Brazil ended April with a total of 5,901 deaths and 85,380 people infected with the new coronavirus. Today the numbers are more than 6 thousand.
