Lawyer linked to Lula wants Valdemar to be investigated – 01/27/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Lawyer Marco Aurélio de Carvalho, coordinator of the Prerogativas group, classified as “embarrassing” the statement by the president of the PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, that there were proposals for coup decrees “in everyone’s house”.

“It seems that not only is former Minister of Justice Anderson Torres responsible, directly or indirectly, for the attacks on democracy in the country. There are also other supporting actors or protagonists whose conduct needs to be better clarified”, says Marco Aurélio to the column.

The lawyer, who is linked to President Lula (PT), defends that Costa Neto be included in the investigations.

On January 10, the Federal Police found a draft (proposal) of a decree at Torres’ residence for then-president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) to establish a state of defense at the headquarters of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court). The objective, according to the text, was to reverse the result of the election, in which Lula won. Such a measure would be unconstitutional.

In an interview with the newspaper O Globo, published this Friday (27), Costa Neto said that similar proposals circulated around the former president. “That proposal that was in the Minister of Justice’s house, that was in everyone’s house.” The president of the PL added that Bolsonaro “did not want to do anything outside the law”.

“The statement [de Costa Neto] it is very embarrassing and has to provoke a rigid investigation process. Not only did he not help Anderson Torres, he ended up, in fact, putting himself in the crime scenes that attacked democracy, against the rule of law, against the independence of the powers that be”, says Marco Aurélio de Carvalho.

“He also compromised Bolsonaro himself by reinforcing the seriousness of the episode”, he adds.
