Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicans-RJ) said he has nothing to hide hours after receiving a judicial order in the Rio court that prohibits TV Globo from showing classified documents of the investigations into the son of President Jair Bolsonaro (no party) . The broadcaster has yet to comment on the matter.
On social media, Flávio celebrated the precautionary measure and said that part of the press “invents narratives” to erode his image and that of his father.
“I have just won a prior injunction that prevents #globolixo from publishing any document of my confidential process. I have nothing to hide and I explained everything in the file, but the narratives that the press invents to erode my image and that of President Jair Bolsonaro are criminals “. , he said.
“[A] The judge understood that this is very detrimental to my defense. Wanting to impute illegal conduct to me, without due legal process, constitutes a crime that can be repaired, “he added.
Judge Cristina Serra Feijó, of the 33rd Civil Court of the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro, preliminarily prohibited the exhibition of any document or part of the confidential process referring to the investigation of the “crackers” that involve Senator Flávio Bolsonaro ( Republicans-RJ) on TV Globo.
The measure met the request of the parliamentarian, who yesterday filed a lawsuit, through his lawyers Rodrigo Roca and Luciana Pires. The process is confidential.
HE Twitter he sought the communication council of TV Globo and awaits his return.
In a note, the National Association of Newspapers (ANJ) criticized the censorship and said that the decision, which is “contrary to freedom of the press, limits the right of society to be informed freely.” “This is even more serious when it comes to information of obvious public interest,” said ANJ.
The president of the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji), Marcelo Träsel, also criticized the censorship imposed by the Rio Justice.
“We consider any type of prior censorship in a democracy unacceptable, especially when the objective of the news coverage is a public person whose mandate was granted by vote, which forces him to be accountable to society. We did not have access to the sentence, but to a degree how that would require exceptional reasons to be justified, “he said. “The decision of the 33rd Civil Court of the TJRJ makes it difficult for journalists to cover serious complaints against Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, violating freedom of the press and the right to information.”
“Those who lose are the voters of Rio de Janeiro and all citizens, who will have difficulty monitoring the progress of the investigations against the son of the President of the Republic and assessing whether the authorities are fulfilling their duties,” concluded Träsel.
On social media, journalists, celebrities and anonymous people also criticized the court’s decision and labeled it “censorship.” “Censorship. What are you afraid of?” Sonia Bridi, a Globo reporter, joked. “What is the reason? Why?” Asked GloboNews presenter Marcelo Cosme. “The name is censorship,” said commentator Flávia Oliveira, also of GloboNews.
