The newspaper criticized the explanation given by the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Flavio Dino, that the alleged attacks on the family of Minister Alexandre de Moraes in Rome may constitute a crime against the democratic state of law. The editorial notes that the Defense of the Democratic State of Law Act, which was approved in 2021, came to remove the danger of interpreting the national security law. “as a defense of the integrity of the authorities or a particular current of thought”.
“In a democratic state of law, the defense of the democratic system cannot be confused with the defense of the authorities. They are two different subjects and they have special protection.”defend the newspaper. “Therefore, the Minister of Justice, Flavio Dino, is deeply mistaken when he says, in an interview about the confusion that occurred at Rome airport with Minister Alexandre de Morais, of the Supreme Federal Court, that the moral and physical outrages that could have been committed against the judge and his family can be described as a crime against the democratic state of law – an obvious absurdity”He says Estadao.
