“I will look for (Moro) of course. No problem. He is the senator of the Republic,” Messias said last Tuesday (2), when asked by the blog after leaving the office of Senator Jaime Campos (Uniao-MT) on his marathon tour of the House of Representatives.

According to the article team, Messias’ allies have already contacted the senator from Parana to try to schedule a hearing between the two, but there has been no confirmation yet. With the postponement of the session and vote, which were scheduled for the 10th day, the Union Prosecutor has more time to rally support and speak with the 81 senators who will decide whether to confirm or reject Lula’s choice.

Although defended as a republican position and institutional deference to Mesías’ allies, the strategy of seeking Moro is facing resistance in the PT, especially among those most critical of his behavior at the helm of Lava Jato.

“It is a waste of time (looking for Moro), because he will not have an impartial point of view and he has already indicated that he will vote against the nomination,” one of Lula’s interlocutors who is well-versed in the legal world told the blog. “And let’s not forget that Moro corrupted Lula in Lava Jato, and even put Christ in the middle of everything.”

The commentary refers to one of Lava Jato’s most controversial episodes: the release by Moro, then a judge of the 13th Federal Court in Curitiba, of the famous audio recording of a conversation between Lula and then-President Dilma Rousseff, from March 2016. That was the height of Lava Jato, when the Workers’ Party member was still trying to save her government from the threat of impeachment.

In the phone interception that the Bolsonarians intend to use to embarrass Messias during the hearing, Dilma tells Lula that she will send him “the inauguration period.”

“Next: I’ll send Bisias with the paper, so we can have it. And use it only if necessary, which is the term for possession, okay?” Dilma declared. Messias was Undersecretary for Legal Affairs at the Civic House of Palacio do Planalto.

At the time, the appointment was interpreted as a desperate attempt on Dilma’s part to simultaneously place Lula in the political articulation of the government, seeking to avoid accountability, as well as ensuring a privileged forum for the then-former president, and preventing him from being arrested by Moro.

Lula’s appointment ended with suspension by decision of Federal Supreme Court Minister Gilmar Mendes.

Moro told interviewers that President Lula has not yet sent the letter to the Senate to confirm Messias’ nomination – something that should be done in the coming days, according to Rapporteur Waverton Rocha (PDT-MA), in a calming gesture.

Through his personal Instagram account, former federal judge Lava-Jato came out in defense of the President of the Senate, Davi Alcolombre (União-AP), who was working behind the scenes to reject Lula’s candidate. “The President of the Republic is responsible for the nomination and the Senate is responsible for approving or rejecting the name nominated for the STF,” Moro wrote.

“My solidarity with President Davy Alcombre against the disqualification campaign promoted by sectors of the executive power against the independence of the Senate.”

Moro also appeared online to criticize the African Union’s position against the decision of the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) prohibiting the use of the clinical technique (fetal contraction) to terminate a pregnancy of more than 22 weeks resulting from rape.

In May last year, Minister Alexandre de Moraes responded to a request from PSOL, and ended up suspending the rule – and requested a statement from the African Union.

The AU’s position, signed by Mesías, was limited to a technical issue, without presenting the merits: that regulating the procedures surrounding legal abortion is the responsibility of Congress, not the Council.

“You are either for life or for death,” Moro wrote on November 25. “There is nothing personal against GUI, Jorge Messias, but as someone who says he is against abortion, can you support its implementation, because of fetal contraction, which is a cruel procedure, at an advanced stage of pregnancy, when the life of the fetus has already become viable outside the mother’s womb?”

“Yes, the AU was in favor of abortion late in pregnancy in a measure proposed by the SWP. That was enough to oppose it. There are alternatives to legal abortion in advanced pregnancies.”
