Marcos Rogério: I disagree with him on the substantive matter regarding the attempted coup, but, from the point of view of criminal law, of the formal question, it was a speech truly befitting a debate in the CCJ of the Federal Senate, bringing light, bringing clarity as to what we did when legislating on crimes against the democratic order, saying that the legislator failed to foresee situations that, at this time, cause distortions in trials.
Marcos Rogério: And there are these two extremes: on one side, abuse of power; on the other, legislation that did not foresee situations that today lead to exacerbated punishments.
And then that one who is imprisoned, Débora do batom, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison, faced with these two situations — one: the Parliament's failure to get the norm right; the other: the judiciary's abuse of power — what does that have to do with those who were there in a herd effect and who were convicted en masse and who received 14, 15, 16, 17 years in prison?
Marcos Rogério: It has nothing to do with that. But it has to do with Parliament.
Marcos Rogério: If Parliament recognizes that, whether by the argument of abuse of power, of abuse of authority, or by the argument of error in the penal matter legislated, this is a fact, it is up to this Parliament, with the responsibility it has, to face reality and redefine the penal criteria for progression in the serving of sentences.
