“It’s like I said, ‘I think you don’t like me and you’re going to kill me.’ That’s why I’m convicting you before the crime is committed. This is what Adriana Ventura, member of the Bundestag, said in an interview published in this issue of west, summarized the criteria established by the ministers of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) for the revocation of Deltan Dallagnol’s mandate. The process took 66 seconds.
The law states that a member of the public ministry is not eligible for election in two situations. First: if you’ve been fired. Second, responding to a disciplinary proceeding leaves the MP to avoid a likely dismissal. Dallagnol was not fired. He didn’t even respond to a disciplinary action. The former head of the prosecutors’ task force on Operation Lava Jato has only been the target of “disciplinary grievances”.

The removal from office of the Paraná MP proves that elections are no longer a problem for the dictatorship led by the PT’s authoritarian front. As stated JR Guzzo As the cover article of this issue states: “As long as the TSE exists, the ‘electoral justice’ will function as a service in support of the far left who run the government.” For Guzzo: “Has the opposition elected someone to disrupt Congress? And? The TSE revokes its mandate.”
“In a democracy, the people are the moderating power,” Adriana Ventura recalls at another point in the interview. More than 344,000 Brazilians voted for Deltan Dallagnol. In the 2022 election, he was the mostelected federal representative in Paraná.
