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.
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.
I'm here to do things differently.
A special governor today, huh?
Very special.
- 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.
Something unprecedented in Brazil.
Never has a governor, from what I've been told, done that.

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.
I've seen a president be impeached, but a minister? No, right?
It seems that nothing happens to them, right?
Exactly.

Two former presidents have already been removed from office, one of them even arrested.

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.
So it's shocking, the whole of Brazil outraged.

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.
- 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.

About: enforce the laws and the Constitution
So, something that speaks against the institutions.

This looks very bad for Brazil and we will not remain silent, no.

There is no untouchable person for me.
Untouchable is God.
Here on Earth they are human beings who can err.
- For
About: investigate and punish errors by public servants
And when they err, they must pay for the mistake.
- For
About: enforce the laws and the Constitution
And here in Brazil, some untouchables seem to consider themselves above the law.
But we are here to fight.
Could you open back there to get my toothbrush for me?
Does it close by itself?
Ah, okay.
So you went to Curitiba recently?
I arrived there at the worst possible time, it was cold.
Wow, it was around 5 degrees, 7 degrees.
And at first it was very difficult to get used to it there.
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.
Desconhecido
You went to FGV, I don't know if you know Lynn.
