AGU fails to present Bolsonaro’s test to Justice to diagnose covid-19 | Politics

The information provided is part of a process in which the newspaper “O Estado de S. Paulo” requests access to the reports of the president’s exams for covid-19. The AGU, along with the response, also asked the Court to dismiss the case.

In a note, AGU said that it presented a “medical report issued on March 18, 2020 by the Health Coordination of the Presidency of the Republic, which certifies that the President of the Republic is monitored by the respective medical team, being asymptomatic, having, included, an examination for the detection of covid-19, on March 12 and 17, with said examination giving non-reactive (negative) “.

“In view of the addition of the report to the case file, AGU requires the termination of the process,” the agency added.

Last Monday, Judge Ana Lúcia Petri Betto gave the Union a period of 48 hours to provide “the reports of all the exams.” The magistrate defended that the citizen has the right to know the real state of health of the president.

In deciding, Judge Petri Betto declared that, “at the current moment of a pandemic that is affecting not only Brazil, but the entire world, the foundations of the Republic cannot be neglected, especially with regard to the duties of information and transparency. It is repeated that “all power emanates from the people” (art. 1, sole paragraph, of CF / 88), so that those in power have the right to be informed about the actual state of health of the elected representative, “he wrote. .

The judge classified the refusal to reveal the results of the examination as illegitimate. “Therefore, from any angle in which the subject is analyzed, the refusal to provide the examination reports is illegitimate, and transparency and the right of access to public information must prevail,” concluded Ana Lúcia.
