The departure of Sergio Moro from the Bolsonaro government has increased speculation about the future of former judge Lava Jato. Moro was one of the government’s best qualified ministers and his name always appeared among those cited to run for the Presidency of the Republic in 2022, despite the fact that he denies having political aspirations and occupying a vacancy in the Supreme Court (STF), An opportunity that fell apart after accusing President Jair Bolsonaro of trying to interfere with Federal Police investigations.
By giving up the
As Minister of Justice and Public Security, Moro did not detail what he will do
in the future, but gave some hints. First, he reported tiredness. Occupied
the judiciary for 22 years and, before leaving his career, he was the responsible federal judge
for directing the Lava Jato in Curitiba. As Bolsonaro’s minister, he was almost
16 months in office, with the mission of improving the country’s security indexes and
fight organized crime
“These 22 years have been
busy. In particular, throughout this period of Lava Jato,
I had practically no rest, not even during the office of minister
Justice and public security, “he said Friday (24), at his press conference
goodbye And he regretted the end of his career as a judge: “Unfortunately, leaving
the magistracy was a path of no return ”.
Moro stated that
He became rich during his career and is looking for a job. “I will do it
look for work later. I didn’t get rich in public service, nor as
magistrate or as a minister. “
And he ended his speech saying that it is available for the country. “And I mean, regardless of where I am, I will always be available to help the country with anything. If I can help in this period of the pandemic with other attitudes … But, anyway, always respecting the mandate of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security in this management, which is to always do the right thing. Thank you.”
Presidential candidate?
By making himself available to the country, Moro increased speculation about a possible political future. A survey carried out by the Big Data Institute * at the request of the BR Político website and published this Saturday (25) shows that 66% of those interviewed consider that the announcement of Moro’s departure places him as a “strong candidate for the Presidency in 2022 “. On the other hand, 34% answered that they do not agree with the statement.
At the end of 2019, Datafolha **
launched an evaluation survey of Bolsonaro’s first year in office and
your minister The survey showed that Moro was the best qualified minister
from the Bolsonaro government.
It was known to 93%
of the interviewees and their administration as minister was evaluated as excellent / good by
53% For 23%, their performance was fair and only 21% considered it bad / terrible.
Moro’s numbers were even better than those of President Bolsonaro himself.
The president’s management was considered good or excellent for 30%. 32% already considered
fair and 36% bad / very bad.
At the end of February
2020 Paraná Paraná *** announced that the work of the former minister was evaluated
as “great” or “good” by 54% of the population. Only 18.2% judged performance
of the former judge as negative. On the future of the minister, 57.9% of the respondents
advocated for his appointment as Supreme Minister, 15.9% candidacy for
Presidency and 14.4% a ticket with Bolsonaro for re-election in 2022.
Also in February
The investigation carried out by FSB **** at Veja’s request showed that if the elections for
president in February, Bolsonaro would be facing the main
names cited in the first round, but they would have a difficult match with Sergio Moro in the
second round
On stage without Moro and without
Lula, Bolsonaro would have 37% of voting intentions in the first round, ahead of Fernando
Haddad (PT), with 13%; Luciano Huck (without party), with 12%; Ciro Gomes (PDT),
with 11%; João Amoêdo (new), with 5%; and João Doria (PSDB), with 3%. On the stage
with Moro and also without Lula, Bolsonaro appears with 28%, Moro with 17%, Haddad with
15%, Huck with 13%, Ciro with 9%, Amoêdo with 4% and Doria with 3%.
In an eventual second round, Bolsonaro would win against almost all opponents: Bolsonaro x Haddad (51% to 33%); Bolsonaro x Doria (50% to 25%); Bolsonaro and Huck (45% to 37%). However, the president would be technically linked to Moro: 39% for the former judge and 37% for Bolsonaro. The margin of error is 2 percentage points. Bolsonaro and Ciro’s stage was not surveyed in the second round.
Moro has always denied having political claims. The former minister has stated on several occasions that he does not have a political party profile. He says that his profile is technical, so he agreed to occupy a technical position, that of Minister of Justice and Public Security. “I will even put on my grave that I will not be a candidate,” the former judge of Lava Jato joked at an event organized by The Economist magazine in October 2019. “I am a fish out of water in politics,” he added.
Invitations, however, will be unavoidable. Pode is one of the parties that Moro would like to have as a presidential candidate in 2022.
Secretary of
Justice and public safety?
Although 2022 does not arrive, Moro is also beginning to be tested to be secretary of Justice and / or Public Security in the states. This is the case of Paraná, the home state of the former judge of Lava Jato, Santa Catarina and Rio de Janeiro.
A confirmed source to Gazette
from town that the governor of Paraná, Ratinho Junior (PSC), offered the position
from the Secretary of Public Security to Moro. The two spoke on Friday
(24) If Moro accepts, Ratinho Junior must join the Security Secretariat
(Sesp) the powers of justice, which are currently under the command of
State Department of Justice, Family and Labor.
In his official Twitter profile, Ratinho wrote: “@SF_Moro is the greatest paranaense in recent history, proud of our State and Brazil. As a judge and as a minister, he helped fight corruption in our country. I very much regret your departure from the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, but I am confident that you will continue to contribute to the nation in other challenges. Paraná receives you with open arms! #bichodoparana # pévermelho “.
The Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Wilson Witzel, has also invited the former minister to join his government. “I see with sadness the resignation of my former colleague, federal judge Sergio Moro, whose principles we have adopted in our professional life with a single mission: the fight against crime. I would be honored by your presence in my government because here, Your Excellency, you always have carte blanche, ”he wrote on his Twitter profile.
In an interview with UOL, Witzel stated that Moro “could integrate the Public Ministry, the civil and military police and the judiciary.” “They must be integrated, aligned with federal institutions, in the fight against organized crime, in the improvement of State Justice. I do this integration today. We would intensify the work to combat money laundering and give it political space to make it work, ”the governor reported.
Another governor who offered Moro a position was Carlos Moisés, from Santa Catarina. “Brazilians lose with @SF_Moro’s departure from
@JusticaGovBR. Moro is synonymous with the fight against corruption, an essential condition for building a better Brazilian flag. Sorry. Your work has always been correct and ethical. I appreciate alliances with #SantaCatarina. You will be welcome here! “He wrote on Twitter.
Consulting professor
and study abroad
Beyond the race
Politics, Moro can also become a teacher or become a consultant. The former judge
He was a professor at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), having requested the dismissal
since 2018. He teaches since 2007 at the Department of Criminal Law and
Criminal Procedure Law of the university and was licensed since 2016, at the height of
Operation Car Wash. He also taught at Unicuritiba, a private university.
Based in Curitiba.
Moro would have already thought of studying abroad, according to the Expresso column of the Época magazine. Even during the time of the Lava Jato judge, the column showed that he was thinking of leaving the post to study abroad. The plan would be for 2019 or 2020, but was interrupted with the invitation to be minister of the Bolsonaro government.
A common path for former ministers and public figures is to become a consultant. Former Lava Jato lawyer, Carlos Lima, for example, runs a compliance consultancy, that is, on the adoption of anti-corruption and anti-fraud measures within companies.
