PSDB presidents, Bruno Araujo, DEM, ACM Neto and MDB, Baleia Rossi, released a memo today criticizing the request to impeach STF (Supreme Federal Court) Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The removal of the judge was requested by President Jair Bolsonaro himself (no party) last Friday (20).
In a document entitled “Democracy is the only way to go,” the parties say the request is unjustified and political.
It is regrettable that during such a severe socio-economic crisis, Brazil still faces political instability and the specter of authoritarianism. This moment requires sensitivity, commitment and understanding between political leaders, institutions and powers. “
Note from PSDB, DEM and MDB
In addition, the parties also called for dialogue to find solutions to the economic, medical and social crises that the country is experiencing. “And for this it is important that institutions are able to carry out their functions with complete freedom and impartiality.”
Earlier, left-wing parties also joined him to question Bolsonaro’s position through a note.

Democracy is the only path to be followed
We reaffirm our commitment to democracy, independence and harmony among the Powers and our full respect for the Federal Constitution.
In light of recent events, we express our solidarity with Minister Alexandre de Moraes, who has been the subject of an unfounded impeachment request – clearly of a political nature – from President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro.
It is regrettable that during such a severe socio-economic crisis, Brazil still faces political instability and the specter of authoritarianism. This moment requires sensitivity, commitment and understanding between political leaders, institutions and powers.
The coronavirus pandemic has triggered disturbing reflections in the country’s daily life, where uncertainty generated by the federal government is driving unemployment, high inflation and hunger.
We believe that only dialogue can guide this path in the search for solutions to the economic, health and social crises that the country is suffering from. And for this it is very important that institutions are able to carry out their functions with complete freedom and impartiality.
This is a guarantee that the country needs to continue to strengthen its democracy and the aspirations of the nation.
ACM Neto (DEM), Baleia Rossi (MDB) and Bruno Araújo (PSDB)
