Marcos do Val wants Moraes removed from inquiries – 02/03/2023 – Power

Senator Marcos do Val (Podemos-ES) says he will ask the PGR (Attorney General’s Office) to remove the minister of the STF (Supreme Federal Court) Alexandre de Moraes from the rapporteurship of anti-democratic acts. The statement was given in an interview with CNN.

According to Do Val, Moraes lied when he said that he instructed him to formalize a statement about the meeting with former federal deputy Daniel Silveira (PTB-RJ) and Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who were devising a coup plan against Lula’s inauguration.

“I inform you that the recent statements by Minister Moraes are not true when he says that he advised me that the information from the meeting with Silveira and Bolsonaro was formalized”, said the senator on CNN.

“I will be making a request to the PGR to remove Minister Moraes from the rapporteurship of anti-democratic acts.”

The parliamentarian revealed this Thursday (2) that he had received a proposal from former president Bolsonaro and Daniel Silveira to participate in an attempted coup. During the day, however, he changed his version several times.

The parliamentarian changed his version on the following points:

• Bolsonaro’s role in the plot – First, he said in a live at dawn that “Bolsonaro’s attempt to coerce me will be published on Friday so that I could carry out a coup d’état together with him”. In an interview with GloboNews in the afternoon, however, he denied that the former president had participated in the plan;
• Conversations with Moraes – Do Val said that he met with Moraes after meeting with Bolsonaro and Silveira, but in a press conference, he said that he only went to the meeting after talking to the minister;
• The meeting place – He already said that the meeting with Bolsonaro and Silveira took place in three different places: at the Alvorada Palace, at Granja do Torto and at the Jaburu Palace.
