Here is the full note by federal deputy Márcio Macedo:
“In view of the preliminary decision handed down by the eminent Minister Nunes Marques, in the records of Provisional Antecedent Guardianship nº 41, giving rise to my momentary removal from the Chamber of Deputies, I clarify that:
“1. This decision was taken as a precautionary measure, and may be reviewed not only by the Rapporteur himself, by Organs collegiate bodies of the STF and also by the President. For this review to take place, appeals are being presented by the Workers’ Party and myself.
“two. I am absolutely certain that the Federal Supreme Court will uphold the decision of the Electoral Justice, favorable to the democratic state of law and to me. The facts are notorious and indisputable, as well as the good application of the law. In addition, the maintenance of the injunction, in the terms in which it was issued, clearly contradicts the jurisprudence of our Superior Courts, both in relation to the procedural aspects of the request presented by the applicant, as well as in relation to the matters involving its merits.
“3. I trust in Brazilian Justice, in democracy, in impartiality and in the commitment of the Ministers of our Supreme Court to the democratic rule of law. I am sure that they will never bow to any pressure or attempts to influence their decisions to depart from the application of good law. I am, therefore, fully convinced that my mandate will be restored in a short space of time, in compliance with our Constitution and the law, so that the will of the people prevails definitively and sovereignly. My fight is in defense of the popular vote and respect for representative democracy, which made me a Federal Deputy for the State of Sergipe.”
