Former President of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Joaquim Barbosa said on Saturday not believe that the Court of Audit (TCU) is an organ capable of triggering a serious process as the impeachment of a president. "I do not believe the Federal Audit Court as a serious trigger body in a process of such gravity, the Court of Auditors is a playground of failed politicians," he said. According to Barbosa, TCU is a place where politicians get elected without expectation of seeking a "little mouth". "(TCU) has no institutional stature," he said at the 7th International Congress of Financial and Capital Market, organized by BM & FBovespa.
The question for Barbosa, therefore, lie in the ability to TCU address the issue of cycling, not the severity of the government's fiscal maneuvers Dilma. "One of the Brazilian legal practice of features is the duality between what is written in the rules, laws, and its practical implementation. It is one thing I say yes, it is feasible legally a tax pedaling lead to impeachment of a President regularly elected. Another thing is I know how to really work the institutions and believe it, "said the former minister of the Supreme.
Barbosa said that to proceed with impeachment proceedings, it is necessary that the evidence is "indisputable" and directly involving the president. He recalled that this movement is something that needs to be well thought out, since it represents an "earthquake" to the country's institutions.
Application - the Former President Supreme Court again denied wishing to candidtar the presidency.He dismissed as "impossible" one application. "Look at me, for that my gist, that my openness, my way of saying things, my transparency ... I would be massacred if he chose to enter the fray by the president, starting with politicians, they do not like outsiders and I am one, "he said.
Barbosa said he follows in public life "in dialogue with people." "I'm meeting a Brazil did not know. It's been very rewarding," said the former chief justice, who received a standing ovation by those present after finishing his speech.
