In an interview with Pânico, the senator explained why he supported Bolsonaro even after the breakup and recalled his performance in Lava Jato: ‘In Brazil, they go after those who try to make the gears work’
This Monday, the 6th, the program Panic received the senator Sergio Moro. In an interview, he spoke about the new government Lula and stated that he was in favor of reforming the STF. “We know it will be difficult. Now, it is an anchor to leave the country behind, not to advance or to sink”, said the former minister about the fiscal anchor promised by Fernando Haddad’s team. The advantage of making opposition, many times, is that it is easier than the situation where you have to present the result, ”he said. “The Supreme Court is what we have been discussing there in the Senate. I think you really need to revisit the Supreme Court, without getting into that warlike spirit against the ministers. 12-year term. Thinking about reducing the weight of the decisions of a single minister, sometimes a decision suspends a law of the Congress.”
Recently, during an interview with the Panic, Eduardo Cunha criticized Moro’s entry into politics and the Operation Lava Jato. The former judge countered the lines of the federal deputy. “We have to fight even if we have these drugs, these setbacks. We have to insist, because we want to live in a country that is more decent. The person says: ‘You shouldn’t have left the judiciary’. There was a political backlash, who are to blame for this backlash? We have to see who annulled the decision. I have always maintained this line of coherence and I will maintain it, ”he said. “Criminal proceedings have to be like this. The guy committed a crime, he has to pay. This is the civilized world. In Brazil, instead of blaming those responsible for making the gears not work, they blame people who are trying to make the gears work.”
Moro also commented on his passage through the Ministry of Justice and stated that he entered politics in search of technical policies for public security. “My perception was that I would be a coach, like Paulo Guedes was. That was how he was treated by the press, and my going was even praised. When the path of what I believed in was cut in the government, I left. I kept my coherence”, reflected the senator.
Moro also refuted criticism of support for Jair Bolsonaro in the second round of the 2022 elections, even after leaving the government. “I understood that Bolsonaro’s option was better for the country, even though I have not withdrawn any of my criticisms, even though I have my own guidelines. I am not happy with this new government. What is the answer that we have? Make opposition. Yes, that’s what I’m going to do there in Congress.”
