247 - Former Portuguese Prime Minister José Sócrates stated on Monday (22) that Brazil is experiencing "an institutional tragedy" and considered that the current Brazilian Minister of Justice, Sérgio Moro, acted as "a political activist disguised as a judge".
These positions are contained in a note sent by José Sócrates to the Lusa news agency, after the Brazilian Minister of Justice and Public Security and former judge responsible for Operation Lava Jato, Sérgio Moro, identified an "institutional difficulty" in Portugal in advancing the proceedings against former Prime Minister José Sócrates, as is the case in Brazil.
Responding to the intervention made by Sérgio Moro at the Opening Conference on the Democratic Rule of Law and the Fight against Organized Crime and Corruption, at the VII Lisbon Legal Forum, the former Portuguese Prime Minister (2005/2011) declared: "What Brazil is experiencing is a dishonest instrumentalization of its judicial system in the service of a specific and concrete political interest." According to José Sócrates, this "is what happens when a political activist acts disguised as a judge." "It is not just an institutional problem, it is an institutional tragedy. I will return to this subject," he warned.
