The note in which the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, says that the state of calamity, decreed by President Jair Bolsonaro in March, is “the prelude to the state of defense” and that the investigation of any illegal activity by The occupant of the Planalto Palace falls under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Power and was received with concern among the deputy attorneys general of the Republic, members of the Superior Council of the Federal Public Ministry.
The group released a document in which it emphasizes that “the criminal prosecution of common crimes and the responsibility of the Supreme Federal Court” (which includes the crimes of the President) is “a function constitutionally conferred on the Attorney General, whose position is endowed with of functional independence “.
The text says that in the midst of the pandemic, while other countries adopted preventive measures against the spread of the disease and mobilized resources, in Brazil it was different. According to the group, here we had a reality that “led us to get worse, as seen, for example, in Manaus, since last week, with the depletion of oxygen cylinders, causing deaths of patients due to suffocation and emergency transfer of others for treatments “. in different states. “
In addition, the note criticizes the “weakness of the national coordination of actions to face the pandemic” and the mismatch with specialized guidelines “, in the defense of preventive treatments without scientific evidence, in criticism of the efforts to develop vaccines, with the dissemination of doubtful information about its effectiveness, in order to compromise adherence to the population’s vaccination program “.
It also addresses the “delay or omission” in the purchase of vaccines and supplies for the manufacture of immunizers, which causes a delay in the vaccination of the Brazilian population.
The deputy prosecutors also cite possible illegalities committed by the President of the Republic in other fields, such as when he doubted the correctness of the Brazilian electoral system or in the recent declaration that it is up to the Armed Forces to decide whether the countries will have a democratic or dictatorial system.
“In this scenario, the Federal Public Ministry and, in particular, the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic, must fulfill their role of defending the judicial order, the democratic regime and the head of the criminal prosecution, and must adopt investigative measures necessary under your responsibility. “says the note.
Finally, we believe that the defense of the democratic rule of law seems more appropriate and urgent than the preview of a “state of defense” and its serious consequences for Brazilian society, already so traumatized by the current pandemic situation. “
The undersigned attorneys José Adonis Callou de Araújo, José Bonifácio Borges de Andrada, José Elaeres Marques Teixeira, Luiza Cristina Fonseca Frischeisen, Mario Luiz Bonsaglia and Nicolao Dino signed the text.
