The Minister of Justice, Sergio Moro, downplayed the disagreement with the Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), regarding the progress of the anti-crime bill presented to Congress; "We have no intention whatsoever of prolonging this disagreement," he said.
247, with Agência Brasil - Justice Minister Sergio Moro downplayed on Wednesday (26) the disagreement, last week, with the Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), regarding the processing of the anti-crime bill, presented to Congress. "We have no intention whatsoever of prolonging this disagreement," said Moro.
"This is being discussed with the Chamber, with President Rodrigo Maia. There was a heated exchange, but this is something that can be completely overcome. We have to dialogue, resolve these problems and decide in the best way what is best for the country," said the Minister of Justice, while participating in a public hearing at the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) of the Senate.
Maia had also criticized the Jair Bolsonaro government. In an article published by the newspaper O Estado de S.Paulo last Friday (23), Maia said that the Bolsonaro government is a "desert of ideas". A day earlier, the parliamentarian stated that the president needs to spend "less time taking care of Twitter".
At the meeting, Moro addressed the difference between the current project and the proposal presented by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes when he was Minister of Justice. "Despite some convergences, which I have never denied, my project is a bit broader. And Justice Alexandre's project has some measures that are not in mine. It's that old story, it doesn't matter what color the cat is, what matters is that it catches the mouse. If the legislation is good, it doesn't matter who the author is, let's approve it, there's no problem with that," he stated.
