“So far, I have not supported Lava Toga’s CPI [sobre ativismo judicial], because I understood that the Judiciary must have its own means of investigating. But today’s decision by the STF, which is a slap in the face for Brazilians, which is an authorization for Vale to continue killing, which is a slap in the face for the 300 families that were killed there [Brumadinho]whose loved ones died under the mud, this decision makes me review my position“, continued.
“As of today, I am one of the biggest advocates in this country that the CPI of Lava Toga be installed, that the secrecy of the ministers of the STF be broken. So that this scoundrel Mr. Gilmar Mendes can clarify. It’s only in Brazil that we have a minister who is a close friend of a gang member [Aécio]”, said Janones.
