The minister of the Institutional Relations Secretariat, Alexandre Padilha, said, this Thursday (20), that the government will support a possible commission in Congress to investigate the coup acts of January 8, in Brasília. On that occasion, the buildings of the National Congress, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the Planalto Palace were invaded and vandalized. “We are going to face this political debate that is being created by those who covered up the terrorist attacks of January 8th. At the same time, we will continue to support the actions of the Federal Police and the Judiciary in the investigation of evidence, evidence, to identify the culprits and condemn those who are responsible for the acts”, he said, highlighting that the government supports the full investigation of the involvement of agents. public in acts. On Wednesday (19), Padilha met with government leaders, senators Jacques Wagner and Randolfe Rodrigues and deputy José Guimarães, and advised that, in dialogue with the other leaders, they indicate members of the allied base to participate in the investigation of the Parliament. Next Wednesday (26), the National Congress will hold its first session of the year, and the request for the installation of a Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) of Anti-Democratic Acts is expected to be read. The government’s decision comes after the release of images, this Wednesday, by the press, showing General Gonçalves Dias, then chief minister of the Institutional Security Office (GSI) of the Presidency of the Republic, and other officials of the portfolio, in the interior of the Planalto Palace, interacting with vandals, on January 8. Also this Wednesday, Dias resigned from his post, which was accepted by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Federal Supreme Court is destroyed in a terrorist act on January 8 – Valter Campanato/Agência Brasil The executive secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Ricardo Cappelli, will be the interim head of the GSI. Padilha said that the leak of the images, which, according to him, were edited, created a new political situation. “In our opinion, this creates a new political situation, makes those who covered up the terrorist acts of January 8th and who try to create an absurd conspiracy theory, a true flat earthism of the theory they try to build, that the victims of those terrorist acts that was the National Congress, that was the Federal Supreme Court, that was the Palácio do Planalto, that was democracy, that was the electoral result, that those victims have any responsibility for the actions of the terrorists on the 8th January,” he said. Investigations Protesters invade Congress, STF and Planalto Palace – Marcelo Camargo/Agência Brasil On Wednesday, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stated that, in Brazil, there is no room for Nazis and fascists. “Each person who participated in the coup will be judged, will have the right to the presumption of innocence, which I did not have, but we will not fail to judge each coup leader, because in this country there is no room for Nazis, fascists, and for those who do not like democracy,” he said. In a note, the GSI clarified that the images show the action of security agents to evacuate the fourth and third floors of the Planalto Palace, concentrating protesters on the second floor, where, after the arrival of reinforcements from the Military Police riot squad of the Federal District, the coup leaders were arrested. According to the folder, if irregular conduct is proven, the respective perpetrators will be held accountable. Until then, the creation of the CPMI was generating divergence between government parliamentarians, who argue that the crimes are under investigation by the Federal Police and that a commission in Parliament is not necessary for this purpose, and oppositionists, who want to investigate possible omissions of the federal government’s action. in the episode. For Minister Alexandre Padilha, the commission will point out the attempted coup that were the acts of January 8, and will be a shovel of whitewash in those who try to create conspiratorial narratives. According to him, the political confrontation of a CPMI should also not disturb the government’s priority agenda votes in Congress. “I am absolutely convinced of this, that the possibility of installing the CPMI, in addition to being a squelch of this conspiracy theory, will at no time interfere with the timetable, which is already being played, for approving the content of the 12 provisional measures that the government has forwarded in this first semester”, he said. “The fiscal framework [e a reforma tributária] it is also absolutely maintained, both the President of the House and the President of the Senate have already publicly signaled that this calendar will be touched as soon as possible,” he added. GSI Regarding Minister Gonçalves Dias’ involvement in terrorist acts, Padilha said that he has a history as a public figure, but that all responsibilities will be investigated by the Federal Police and the Judiciary. The images from the security cameras that were delivered by the Presidency to the PF were confidential and, according to Padilha, “the government wants to know, and the Federal Police will find out, if there was anyone who omitted images, who did not show images to the authorities when requested. ”. “Leaked video with editing is not enough to destroy a person’s biography, but it has to be investigated not only about Gonçalves Dias, former GSI minister, but all those who were in those videos. Including, I find it very strange that some military agents have the image blurred on their face so as not to be recognized and the former minister not to have the same treatment in this leak, ”he argued. Former Minister of the Institutional Security Office Gonçalves Dias – José Cruz/Agência Brasil This Thursday, STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes, responsible for inquiries within the Judiciary, gave PF 48 hours to hear Gonçalves Dias about the images. For Alexandre Padilha, Moraes’ attitude is absolutely correct. “It’s just one more demonstration that the institutions are working, they are the ones responsible and we want verification until the end”, he said. “From the beginning we have said that hatred, the anti-democratic movement, the anti-democratic posture of the former president [Jair Bolsonaro], of all the movement that was sown in the last four years, contaminated the set of institutions, individuals of the institutions, and that the complete verification has to be done”, reaffirmed Minister Padilha. Judgment at the STF The STF has already formed a majority to open criminal proceedings and make 100 defendants denounced for the coup acts of January 8th. The first judgments relating to anti-democratic acts began at 00:00 this Tuesday (18) and are expected to last until 23:59 next Monday (24), in the virtual plenary, a modality in which ministers deposit their votes electronically, without face-to-face deliberation.

The complaints involve crimes provided for in the Penal Code as a criminal association; violent abolition of the democratic rule of law; coup d’etat; threat; persecution; incitement to crime and qualified damage. The PGR also cites the crime of deterioration of listed heritage.
