Bolsonaro advances in difficult projects and against due process

Through Minister Sergio Moro, Jair Bolsonaro's government has presented plans to keep its election promises to fight corruption and insecurity.

The proposal involves amending the laws of the Criminal and Electoral Code, among others.

The law proposes to extend the concept of self-defense to the police, who would not be blamed in case of murder of thieves for "fear, surprise or violent emotion".

In Brazil, agent Katia Sastre became a member of parliament after her video kills a thief killing in a school door.

"The legitimate defense is not extended, we only specify that certain daily situations constitute a legitimate defense," said Moro during the presentation of the project.

Brazil is one of the most unstable countries in the world, has one of the most violent police forces in the world and its policing job is one of the most precarious professions of the neighboring country. .

In 2017, there were 63,380 murders (175 deaths per day), including 5,144 in the hands of security agents and 367 police officers died.

On the other hand, in the package of Moro's projects, one entered to convert into law a judicial doctrine that was applied to Lula and that left him without possibility to return to the presidency, thus opening the victory of Bolsonaro and his promotion to the post of Minister of Moro. .

The former judge of Lava Jato proposed to institutionalize the fact that after the conviction of a person in the second instance and when she still had business to appeal, she should start executing his deprivation of liberty.

In July, the Federal Supreme Court ruled that the former president should be detained while he had just been sentenced in the second instance and that he could continue to appeal his conviction. From there, Bolsonaro progressed in the polls until winning the vote in October.

The Supreme Court of Brazil will reissue its judgment in April.

The vice presidential candidate, Manuela Davila, said the project was "the core of Bolsonarism: the cessation of the most important individual guarantees" and that the police would have "carte blanche to kill".
