This Thursday (30), the Curitiba City Council will hand over the title of honorary citizen to Sergio Moro, a former minister of the Bolsonaro government, a former judge declared partial by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in the context of Operation Car Wash and who currently seeks to enable a pre-candidate for an elective position by União Brasil.
The tribute was approved in 2016, at the suggestion of former councilor Chico do Uberaba, with only one vote against, councilor Professora Josete (PT). Five years later, councilor Sabino Picolo – from the same party as Moro – took the initiative to make this delivery. Unlike other honorary citizenships, the place chosen was not the plenary in a formal session, but the presidency’s room.

For Professor Josete, the facts involving Sergio Moro in recent years prove how coherent his vote against the tribute was and that the former judge is not worthy of receiving the main honor of the municipality.
“This handing over of citizenship to a person who committed crimes against democracy, who acted with partiality in the Lava Jato processes against former President Lula and who was later minister of this genocidal government, is absurd,” he comments.

The bias cited by Josete was proven by the UN Human Rights Committee, which also pointed out that Lula’s political rights were violated in 2018.
Currently, Moro is a defendant in a class action accepted by the Federal Court of the Federal District for illegalities practiced in the Lava Jato process, in addition to damages caused to the Brazilian economy. The action was filed by PT federal deputies.
“Moro is a defendant and needs to explain the damage he caused to the Brazilian people, he caused serious damage to the Brazilian economy. He cannot go unpunished”, highlights Josete.
The former judge and former minister is also being investigated for possible fraud in an attempt to move his electoral domicile from Paraná to São Paulo and, recently, the Curitiba Court ordered him to remove a campaign video from the air. Judge Ana Lúcia Ferreira understood that the image of a musician from Curitiba was misused and determined that the piece be removed from Moro’s social media.
