Marco Aurélio de Carvalho: 'Lula has no debts, but rather credits for having saved the country'
"Lula has taken on the task of rebuilding and reconciling Brazil," said the coordinator of the Prerogatives Group and member of the elected government's transition team.
247 - Lawyer Marco Aurélio de Carvalho, coordinator of the Prerogatives Group and member of the government transition team in the group dealing with legal matters, stated in an interview with the journalist's column. Monica BergamoAccording to Folha de S. Paulo, the president-elect, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), “has taken on the task of rebuilding and reconciling Brazil.” “This is no small feat, as he was a victim precisely of the instrumentalization of the justice system,” the jurist highlighted, referring to the political conviction to which the PT member was subjected by Lava Jato.
“After being elected, Lula visited the STF [Supreme Federal Court] and found there some of those we could define as his tormentors, magistrates whose decisions led to his imprisonment in 2018. What kind of movie do you think went through his head when he entered the Court? Lula is a truly surprising person, isn't he? Someone who doesn't hold grudges. Who looks to the future and seeks to bring out the best in people,” observed Marco Aurélio.
According to him, Lula's visit to the Supreme Court aimed to "restore credibility to the institutions and reaffirm his sincere belief that the branches of government must relate to each other with independence and harmony." "I know President Lula: he has neither the space nor the time for grudges," he added later.
“None of us in the legal community are owed anything by President Lula for having defended democracy and institutions. It was the obligation of any democrat and every legal professional to defend President Lula, who was a victim of the instrumentalization of our justice system. Restoring credibility to the justice system was fundamental so that it could continue to be one of the founding pillars of our democracy. We did our duty. Therefore, Lula has no debts, but rather credits for having saved the country,” the jurist assessed.
