Brazilian Supreme Court prepares trap against Lula's candidacy, says Fernando Brito.
According to the editor of Tijolaço, Minister Edson Fachin's statement that he wants to judge Lula's request for release in August is yet another action to disqualify the former president Lula's candidacy; "This is a 'Justice with a Party', in its dominant portion. And a Justice without courage, in the minority that does not rise up against arbitrariness, trapped by corporate ties that speak louder than fragile consciences."
By Fernando Brito, from brick - Don't be surprised by the news that is currently the headline on the Estadão website, stating that “Fachin wants to rule on Lula's request for release in August.".
The subject has just become headline news on the website as well. Sheet., which I reproduce above.
No, there is no intention here to re-examine, as will inevitably happen, the issue of executing the sentence before the final judgment of the former president's sentence.
If that were the case, there would be no reason to postpone, as is currently being done, the general definition of the issue, with the judgments of the actions that discuss the constitutionality of the matter.
It's just a trap, taking advantage of what, in Law, is called "pre-questioning," which, in a slip-up – in my view – by Lula's defense, mentions the issue of the former president's eligibility in an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Bringing the issue up now opens the door for a negative decision that could prevent an appeal to the Supreme Court against a potential – and likely – decision by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) to deny Lula's candidacy registration. Or, at least, it could deny a stay of execution to such an appeal.
Don't be fooled into thinking this will be a formula for elections to proceed freely and without exclusion.
Everything is deceitful and nothing is sincere in the judicial examination of Lula's case.
This is a "partisan justice" in its dominant segment. And a justice without courage, in the minority that does not rise up against arbitrariness, bound by corporate ties that speak louder than fragile consciences.
