Davi Alcolumbre.
About: call a National Congress session to vote the veto on the sentencing PL
This is the name that can relieve the suffering of countless Brazilians who are serving absurd, disproportionate sentences and who are waiting for justice.
And I could come here and spend minutes, hours, talking about political disagreements, corruption scandals, controversies, absurd decisions, a lot of things that involve his name.
But I don't want to do that today.
Because above the disagreements, above the political dispute, above any vanity, there are people.
People suffering, families destroyed — truly destroyed.

He fell ill and was even hospitalized for several days before dying.
