    For

    About: proceed with impeachment requests against ministers

  2. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: enforce the laws and the Constitution

    Legal Certainty → View this statement
  3. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: require the President of the Republic to take a position on allegations against STF ministers

    And what about the president's stance?
    Institutional Politics →
  4. Romeu Zema
    I haven't seen it.
  5. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: require the President of the Republic to take a position on allegations against STF ministers

    And anyone who stays silent, in my opinion, is because they agree.
  6. Romeu Zema
    I've always said that if I were going to be just another politician like the vast majority, one who submits to those interests, I wouldn't be here.
  7. Romeu Zema
    I'm here to do things differently.
  8. Romeu Zema
    A special governor today, huh?
  9. Romeu Zema
    Very special.
  10. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: proceed with impeachment requests against ministers

    We are going to file here in Brasília the request for removal — the impeachment — of Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
  11. Romeu Zema
    Something unprecedented in Brazil.
  12. Romeu Zema
    Never has a governor, from what I've been told, done that.
  13. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: participate in politics and demand accountability from elected officials

    And we from Minas Gerais will not remain silent about this shamelessness that is happening.
    Political Activism →
  14. Romeu Zema
    I've seen a president be impeached, but a minister? No, right?
  15. Romeu Zema
    It seems that nothing happens to them, right?
  16. Romeu Zema
    Exactly.
  17. Romeu Zema
    Neutral

    About: proceed with impeachment requests against ministers

    Two former presidents have already been removed from office, one of them even arrested.
    Institutional Politics →
  18. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: combat impunity and conflicts of interest in the judiciary

    And it seems that at the Supreme Court it's as if a person had a certificate of being perfect, untouchable.
  19. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: combat impunity and conflicts of interest in the judiciary

    And what we are seeing I think is the biggest scandal in Brazil's history.
  20. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: combat impunity and conflicts of interest in the judiciary

    This one involving a judge of the Supreme Court, which is the body that should be a reference, that should inspire credibility, is being bought, and worse, bought by a man who appears to be engaged in criminal activity.
  21. Romeu Zema
    So it's shocking, the whole of Brazil outraged.
  22. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: investigate and punish illicit enrichment of public servants

    A minister who is occupying his position there, it's very clear, is not there to provide public service, service to the people, but to get rich.
  23. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: publish the spending of ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal)

    A contract that no law firm can get, 3,600,000 per month, he got it for his wife.
  24. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: enforce the laws and the Constitution

    So, something that speaks against the institutions.
    Legal Certainty →
  25. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: participate in politics and demand accountability from elected officials

    This looks very bad for Brazil and we will not remain silent, no.
    Political Activism → View this statement
  26. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: enforce the laws and the Constitution

    There is no untouchable person for me.
    Legal Certainty →
  27. Romeu Zema
    Untouchable is God.
  28. Romeu Zema
    Here on Earth they are human beings who can err.
  29. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: investigate and punish errors by public servants

    And when they err, they must pay for the mistake.

  30. Romeu Zema
    For

    About: enforce the laws and the Constitution

  31. Romeu Zema
    But we are here to fight.
  32. Romeu Zema
    Could you open back there to get my toothbrush for me?
  33. Romeu Zema
    Does it close by itself?
  34. Romeu Zema
    Ah, okay.
  35. Romeu Zema
    So you went to Curitiba recently?
  36. Romeu Zema
    I arrived there at the worst possible time, it was cold.
  37. Romeu Zema
    Wow, it was around 5 degrees, 7 degrees.
  38. Romeu Zema
    And at first it was very difficult to get used to it there.
  39. Romeu Zema
    It was cold, but later... I already knew it, I had gone three or four times, because I have friends from college who are from there.
  40. Desconhecido

    You went to FGV, I don't know if you know Lynn.
