About: guarantee freedom of the press
STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) declares war on the press and is implementing a dictatorship against journalists.
- Neutral
About: authorize breaking confidentiality of journalistic sources
Minister Alexandre de Moraes, him, always him, authorized an operation to breach a source's confidentiality.
About: protect the confidentiality of journalistic sources
There is nothing more sacred for a journalist than source confidentiality, a right guaranteed by the Constitution, enshrined in the Constitution as a reaction to the authoritarian measures of the military regime, which did not preserve source confidentiality.
About: protect the confidentiality of journalistic sources
The press always talks about the need to have the freedom to maintain source confidentiality, so we don't return to the times... of the dictatorship.
And now there's not a peep.
About: publish editorials denouncing STF decisions
The press should have stopped and put it all in its editorials.
About: publish editorials repudiating STF ministers' decision
Jornal Nacional should have spent at least five minutes condemning Alexandre de Moraes's decision.
Look at the absurdity.
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
A journalist exposed an irregularity, an illegality: Flávio Dino using cars from the Court of Justice of Maranhão for personal purposes.
About: prohibit use of Court of Justice vehicles for personal purposes by authorities
A vehicle from the Court of Justice isn't meant to be used by a minister of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal), except in some exceptional circumstance, with proper authorization — which is not the case.
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
The journalist reported this irregularity, that is, he is correct on the merits.
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
He provided true information.
- Neutral
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
Minister Flávio Dino was, in fact, using those cars.
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
It wasn't fake news.
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
It was a true report.
About: protect the confidentiality of journalistic sources
And for reporting a true story, but for bothering a powerful person, who is Minister Flávio Dino, he was targeted by an operation.
- Neutral
About: conduct search and seizure against journalistic sources
There was a search-and-seizure against his source.
About: protect the confidentiality of journalistic sources
If this becomes a trend, it's over for you, journalists.
Are you going to stay quiet?
Are you going to cower before the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal)?
Your cowardice will not make the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) back down.
Journalists, does the press think that by keeping quiet it won't come for them?
But it's the opposite effect: the lack of courage is what makes tyranny grow.
It is the cowards who allow tyrants to rise to power.
About: publish broad coverage and condemnation of STF's authoritarian measures
So, press, journalists, when you don't express outrage, when you don't stop everything to report on and condemn an authoritarian measure like the one taken by the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal), you're saying, 'go ahead, break my source's confidentiality, come, I'm next...' You are sheep saying, 'oh wolf, come on,' because you've seen the other sheep taken — come, I'll be the next one.
Don't be stupid.
It's a matter of your survival.
About: ensure independence between branches and respect for voters' representation
I'm not even going to plead, because if, in fact, the majority of Brazil's major press were committed to democracy, to liberty, to defending the separation of powers, they would have already spoken out against the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) long ago.
About: oversee and limit abuses by the STF
Against the abuses of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) a long time ago.
So forget morality.
I want to count on your selfishness now, those of you in the press.
On your sense and instinct for survival.
If you... don't react, it's over.
You'll only publish what the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) authorizes.
Then a journalist goes to Renan's interview on Globo News and says, 'hey, a manifestly illegal decision by the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) — you're not going to comply?'
Well, if you journalists want to comply, if you journalists want to submit to this, accept the dictatorship that you are imposing on yourselves.
- Against
About: authorize breaking confidentiality of journalistic sources
Partido Missão do Poder will not accept the authoritarian measure being imposed, neither on the Parliament, much less on the Executive Branch.
