The Deputy Attorney General of the Republic, Lindora Araujo, said that the Federal Supreme Court (STF) cannot be used as a “political stage” when deciding on the constitutionality of the secret budget. Actions calling into question the mechanism used to ensure the control of the Bolsonaro administration in the National Congress began to be considered by the court at a meeting on this Wednesday, 7.
For Lindora, criticism cannot be focused on the National Congress speaker’s amendments. “The Supreme Court is not a political stage, it should not, as it was done during all disputes, be just a criticism of the National Congress, politicians there by popular vote and should be respected,” the MP of the PGR said during the trial. with the disapproval of lawyers who delivered oral arguments against Congress.
She also stated that the secret budget cannot be held responsible for the country’s problems. “Poverty is obvious. Poverty in Brazil was not created in one or two years. Brazil’s problems were not created by the secret budget,” he quoted, noting that the actions being assessed call into question the opacity of the speaker’s amendments and that she believes Congress has taken action to address the opacity of transfer information.
