Rodrigo Pacheco: And Your Excellency has that same courage when, from the height of your chair and your authority, you assert that the removal of a Minister of the STF, while there is no just cause, demonstrated fact, typicity, adequacy to the Law on Crimes of Responsibility and political viability, by a majority that is not 41 but 54 votes in this House...
Rodrigo Pacheco: Your Excellency demonstrates great civic courage in taking on this confrontation, because this does indeed generate for Your Excellency enormous wear and tear — as it also generated for me enormous wear — from a personal, electoral and political point of view.
This is civic and institutional courage that Your Excellency has, the same you have now, to set things straight regarding this shielding of Parliamentary mandates.
Rodrigo Pacheco: Your Excellency positions yourself, giving due processing, and, together with Senator Otto Alencar, establishes what is the spirit of the Senate — so much so that it was voted unanimously in the CCJ — rejecting the idea of an excess of parliamentary prerogatives in the scope of police investigations.
Rodrigo Pacheco: It is the same courage you have to do what is obvious, to say that it is inadmissible for a Parliamentarian to be outside the country conspiring against his own country.
