Lewandowski, from the Supreme Court, visits MST school in SP – 02/12/2023 – Politics

The Minister of the STF (Federal Supreme Court) Ricardo Lewandowski visited the Florestan Fernandes National School, of the MST (Movement of Landless Rural Workers), in Guararema (SP), this Saturday (11), to give a lecture in defense of democracy.

“This democracy in which none of us feels represented is crossed by crises that have deep roots in the political system. Today, democracy is composed of some, who represent others”, said the minister.

Lewandowski spoke about the conquest of individual, social and basic rights and said that, in the face of social transformations, it is necessary to have a “north, values, principles and a vision of the world, or an ideology”.

“What unites us is a common vision of the world. A vision in which the people are masters of their destiny, with the aim of building a more just, egalitarian and more fraternal society.”

After the lecture, attended by lawyers and activists, the minister planted a yellow ipê alongside members of the MST.

The minister’s speech takes place in the week in which the attacks against the headquarters of the three Powers, on January 8, completed a month.

The vandals invaded the three floors of the main STF building and damaged or destroyed at least 576 objects. They were stopped when they tried to enter the basement and annexes of the court, where the ministers’ offices are located.

The plenary of the Supreme was reopened at the beginning of the month after undergoing a renovation. The expectation is that some rooms in the main building will take at least six months to return to function as before.

Appointed during the first term of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), in 2006, Lewandowski turns 75, compulsory retirement age, on May 11, but he did not rule out the possibility of leaving office before then.

In an interview with Sheethe said that if he is consulted by Lula about the profile of his replacement, he will say that the future minister must have character, courage and firmness.
