Sérgio Moro: It was not found that a crime of electoral defamation was present there and, likewise, a pleasant surprise was that there was no appeal by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which recognized the inappropriateness of the indictment, which recognized that the indictment was precipitate and that it would not be proper to accuse Delegado KIQ of electoral defamation merely for having expressed his opinion that Lula had committed those crimes related to the Petrobras theft.
Sérgio Moro: This is open to history, open to debate, and we cannot have curtailed this kind of discussion.
A great victory of our time for freedom of expression, unfortunately often here being excessively restricted by judicial decisions with which we do not agree.
Sérgio Moro: Debate on public matters must be free and may be vehement; it may indeed be unpleasant to established authorities.
Sérgio Moro: Of course I do not defend any kind of insult or aggression, or any kind of physical violence, but debate, yes, must be free and unrestricted.
