Lula will be heard by the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) next Tuesday, the 17th, in Curitiba. He may speak in an open inquiry in July to examine the alleged violation of his rights of defense.
The Workers Party (PT) received with some relief the decision made on Tuesday (10) by Judge Carolina Lebbos, successor of Sergio Moro at the 12th Federal Court of Curitiba, allowing former President Lula to be heard on the 17th. , by the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), in an inquiry opened in July to analyze the possibility of violation of its right to defense.
Listened to by the blog , the federal deputy and PT's president, Gleisi Hoffmann considered that it will be an opportunity for the former president to denounce the political stance of former judge Sérgio Moro.
I think for the president this is an important opportunity, and for democracy too. And I hope this is also for the rescue of justice in relation to Lula, he said.
Part of the complaint lodged by the PT about the violations of the former president is based on the leaks of dialogues by prosecutors of the Republic and former judge Sergio Moro, current Minister of Justice and Public Security.
In the evaluation of the deputy leader of the PT in the Chamber of Deputies, Rogério Correia (PT-MG) highlights a change in the stance of justice in relation to Lula.
"I see it as an opportunity for Lula to tell the committee his innocence, and even reflect what The Intercept has published, the bias of Judge Moro, who actually headed the Car Wash," noted the congressman.
Since June the portal The Intercept Brazil has been echoing series of reports about a package of messages from the Telegram application. The material indicates a series of irregularities allegedly committed in the course of proceedings of Operation Car Wash . Intercept has been publishing reports since June with the support of partner vehicles such as UOL and Folha de S. Paulo.
"We already knew, based on the follow-up of the process, the way it was conducted, that Lula was tried and convicted for political reasons," said Patrus Ananias (PT-MG).
