Why was Veja selective in its publication of the "PT Wise Men's Protocol"?
Check out the full document and find out what the magazine didn't reveal about the alleged Workers' Party plan to undermine institutions in Brazil and crush the free press.
247 - A collage of news reports from newspapers and internet portals, including 247, the document that Veja magazine has dubbed the "PT Wise Men's Protocol" is merely a list of people and companies mentioned in Operations Vegas and Monte Carlo, without any deeper value judgment. Selectively, Veja picked out excerpts that referred to Minister Gilmar Mendes of the Supreme Federal Court and the Attorney General of the Republic, Roberto Gurgel, to point them out as targets of a PT conspiracy aimed at discrediting institutions and crushing the free press.
The document, however, is much broader. It makes references, for example, to the Workers' Party congressman Rubens Otoni, the Workers' Party mayor Antônio Gomide of Anápolis, the soccer player Túlio, congressman Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), and even the process of forming the Brazilian super-telecom company, which resulted from the merger between Oi and Brasil Telecom. Could the Protocol of the Wise Men of the Workers' Party point to representatives of the party, its allied base, and even a company formed with a push from the Lula government as targets? Or did Veja select only what would prove its thesis?
