The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) opposed, this Thursday (23), the request of the federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) to include the also federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) in one of the inquiries of the Supreme Court (STF) which investigates the manifestations of January 8. The parliamentarian requested that the STF impose precautionary measures on the parliamentarian for the speech given on March 8, Women’s Day.

Wearing a wig, the Minas Gerais parliamentarian said that “women are losing space for men who feel like women”. The deputy alleges that the speech would have offended transsexuals. In the request, she also asked for Nikolas’ social media to be suspended.

In his statement, the Deputy Attorney General of the Republic, Carlos Frederico Santos, stated that what happened has nothing to do with Inquérito 4.923/DF, which investigates the acts of January 8. “However, the requests made against Federal Deputy Nikolas Ferreira relate to the fact that occurred on March 8 of this year, with no connection to the acts against the Democratic State of Law”, he said.

As a result, the MPF recommended that the petition be redistributed to Justice André Mendonça, rapporteur for other requests made to the STF regarding speeches by Nikolas Ferreira.
