Sérgio Moro: So, now is not the time for us to fill this vacancy.
Sérgio Moro: The approval of this name will represent the continuation of this Lula STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal), which the population, for the most part, already rejects, because we do want an STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) that is independent of the Executive Branch, an STF that has an important role in Brazil's history, but also understands that it is up to the elected institutions of the Executive Branch and of the Legislative Branch itself to make decisions and to formulate the essential public policies of a country, which are often controversial and cannot be left to be resolved by the pen of a judge who was not elected; who is not subject to popular scrutiny either to attain his position or to remain in it.
Well then, tomorrow I will be in the CCJ, tomorrow I will be in this Plenary, and, because of yesterday's episode in which that attempt — which did not succeed — to remove me from the CCJ occurred, I found myself forced, even before the confirmation hearing, to state my opposition to this nomination.
Sérgio Moro: Nothing personally against the Minister, but I will vote against Attorney General Jorge Messias for the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal).
Sérgio Moro: It is not the time to fill this vacancy.
