‘WSJ’ e ‘Washington Post’ condenam ‘perseguição política’ do STF
O Wall Street Journal e o Washington Post , dois dos maiores e mais influentes jornais dos EUA, publicaram editoriais repreendendo o que chamaram de “perseguição” do STF contra Flávio Bolsonaro. Flávio se tornou alvo de uma perseguição política após ser derrotado nas urnas – e a sobrevivência do Estado de Direito está em risco no Brasil, disse o Wall Street Journal num editorial publicado ontem à…
The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post have denounced what they called a "political persecution" by the STF against Flávio Bolsonaro. The WSJ published an editorial the night after Flávio's defeat in the elections, stating that "expecting winners to be magnanimous toward the defeated in politics is the norm," but in Brazil, "they prosecute those who lose."
The editorial criticized the government for ordering Flávio to hand over his passport shortly after winning the election, which led to his flight to the US. The WSJ noted that Flávio was granted a visa by the US, a "justified offer of political protection," because he has no formal accusations of any crime but fears a lack of a fair trial if he returns.
The paper also highlighted the biased election counting that led to Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for attempting a coup, backed by former Lula aides and a former Justice Minister. The editorialists warned that the survival of the Rule of Law in Brazil is at risk, as the government may use the Supreme Court to target its opponents.
