Janio de Freitas says that Moro, once again, wants to influence the elections.

Journalist Janio de Freitas states that the judiciary insists on influencing the 2018 elections, increasingly without any shame; he says: "Moro doesn't want Lula to appear on TV or in journalistic photos during the election campaign. Between us, that's attributing insurmountable power to Lula's mere image. The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office wants to prevent meetings where the president of the PT and the 'vice-president,' who entered prison as lawyers, conspire with Lula on electoral strategies."

247 - Journalist Janio de Freitas states that the judiciary insists on influencing the 2018 elections, increasingly without any shame. He says: "Moro doesn't want Lula to appear on TV or in journalistic photos during the election campaign. Between us, that's attributing insurmountable power to Lula's mere image. The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office wants to prevent meetings where the president of the PT and the 'vice-president,' who entered prison as lawyers, conspire with Lula on electoral strategies."

Read excerpts from Article by Janio de Freitas published in the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper: 

What has been happening daily for the past two months begins today. The Electoral Court says that candidates and parties can only begin campaigning from August 16th onwards. Up to debate on TV It has happened before. The neglect by the Electoral Court is forgivable, however, since the main power in this judicial domain has been absorbed by part of the Criminal Court and the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF). The incestuous relationship between these two was even capable of giving rise to an electoral project, which continues to seek confirmation in the facts. Right now, as if it were all orchestrated, simultaneous news is emerging that the judge Sergio Moro postponed Lula's testimony. until after the election, and the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, as a complement, intends to end the trips of Fernando Haddad and Gleisi Hoffman to meet her leader in prison. 

(…)

These are direct interventions in the electoral battle. Not that they were necessary for understanding this period in Brazilian history, but they are important because of their explicitness. Moro's action reaches the level of aberration. On his last day as brief president of Superior Electoral Court, Luiz fux He issued remarks that, while devaluing the power of the Judiciary, corroborate the prevailing doctrine in Curitiba.
