The new rector of UFPR has an "anti-Moro" profile.
Ricardo Marcelo Fonseca, who will be sworn in this Monday (19) as rector of the Federal University of Paraná, is considered a “guarantist” and democratic lawyer, unlike his colleague professor, Judge Sérgio Moro, who teaches the subject of Criminal Procedure Law at the same university; the Law course at UFPR was the scene of several political acts against the coup that removed President Dilma from government.
From Esmael Morais' blog - The "guarantist" lawyer Ricardo Marcelo Fonseca will be sworn in shortly, at 19 pm, as the new rector of the traditional Federal University of Paraná.
The ceremony at the oldest university in the country (104 years old) will take place at the University Rectorate Theater, at Rua XV de Novembro, 1299, in the center of Curitiba.
Ricardo Marcelo is a democratic, rights-based lawyer, therefore different from Judge Sérgio Moro, who teaches Criminal Procedure Law at UFPR.
The new rector of UFPR is a professor of Legal History, an "anti-Moro" from a dialectical and philosophical point of view. He is an ally of social and popular movements without, however, losing sight of the broad role of the university in society.
Ricardo Marcelo does not, and would not, oppose the professor-magistrate within the institution. On the contrary, the university community says he is far superior to Judge Moro.
Moreover, the Law course — of which the new rector was the director at UFPR — was the scene of numerous political acts against the coup d'état perpetrated by Globo and Moro.
A democratic space and a bastion of plurality, UFPR opened the series of national events condemning the authoritarianism and illegalities of Professor Sérgio Moro. See the famous "Letter from Curitiba," which, in March, denounced Judge Sérgio Moro for producing evidence in a criminal and illegal manner, such as wiretaps, as well as the coercive detention—of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva—without prior judicial summons.
