Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who was ousted by a parliamentary judicial coup in 2016, could see a symbolic return of her mandate, Gleisi Hoffmann, leader of the Workers’ Party (PT), reported today.
The political organization wants to formulate a resolution on this law in the national congress, Hoffmann revealed to the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo.
The federal state court of the First Region (TRF-1), based in the federal district, on August 21 exonerated Rousseff of committing so-called “fiscal kicking” (irregularities used by the government to improve accounting), which justified her trial impeachment ( Distance).
“I believe that a draft resolution in this spirit is possible based on the TRF-1 decision, which makes it clear that the impeachment was a great farce, that the story of the stepping was a trap, a blow in the truest sense of the word was.” “Dilma and the history of Brazil deserve that,” said Hoffmann.
The MP refers to the symbolic return of the mandate of ruler João Goulart, who was overthrown in the 1964 military coup.
In 2013, based on the project of MPs Pedro Simon and Randolfe Rodrigues, the Congress annulled the April 2, 1964 session at which the then-President of the Parliament, Auro de Moura Andrade, declared the presidency of the republic vacant.
On that occasion, former President of Congress Senator Renan Calheiros apologized to a patriot “for the untruths promoted by the Brazilian state”.
During an interview in Luanda, the Angolan capital yesterday, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said a discussion was needed on how to fix Rousseff, who is currently head of the Brics Bank, a Brazilian-Russian-Indian business group , China and South Africa.
“Now I’m going to discuss how we’re going to do it. Political rights cannot be restored if she wants to be president again because I want to finish my term. “But you have to know how to make amends for something that was seen as something that didn’t happen,” Lula said.
“We were able to prove that the former president (2011-2016) did not damage the treasury,” said lawyer Ricardo Lodi Ribeiro at the time.
“This is further evidence of the farce of the impeachment process, which had no legal basis as it was merely a parliamentary action aimed at removing a popularly elected President,” he concluded.
