- Senator Gleisi Hoffmann (Paraná), National President of PT, introduced a legislative decree (PDS 129/18) to block illegitimate President Michel Temer from legalizing political persecution in Brazil. In practice, she wants to block Decree 9,257/18, which created an intelligence task for to investigate organized crime, in Brazil. “Under the pretext of investigating organized crime, Temer’s task force is laying the groundwork for president-elect Jair Bolsonaro to implement more truculent and repressive proposals,” she said.

- Judge Sergio Moro has just proved the level of judicial farce that he set up against the PT and Lula by accepting his prize as Minister of Justice for the Bolsonaro government, but each detail of his story further reinforces his bias, through its contradictions.

After all, how can it investigate its own ministry?” Read more here: http://www.institutolula.org/tirar-a-autonomia-da-cgu-e-enfraquecer-o-combate-a-corrupcao
