Sérgio Moro: I also take this opportunity to congratulate Your Excellency for taking that bill off the agenda today, because it is a complex bill, one that has many divergences, and I believe we should not evaluate this issue by deepening polarization, because there are reasonable arguments on both sides.
Sérgio Moro: I recently positioned myself against it, but we cannot try to work with this logic of friend or foe, villain or hero, because there are many nuances to the question of whether to legalize gambling or not.
On that point, today is an opportune day for the discussion and vote on these nominations to embassies abroad.
Sérgio Moro: As a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, I voted for and approved the names that were nominated, Mr. President, and I am also voting here today in favor of these names, because I draw a very clear distinction between the Itamaraty, which is made up of a cadre of highly qualified professionals, serious people who will carry out this work in the embassies, and, nevertheless, I must register here my displeasure regarding the presidential diplomacy, the diplomacy of President Lula, which has been a disaster for our country.
Sérgio Moro: However, I know how to make that distinction: I will not leave a Brazilian embassy post vacant, nor will I block career progression—often a promotion or the placement of an ambassador at a necessary post abroad—because of my disagreements with the presidential diplomacy of the current Government.
