Ended yesterday the mandate of Rodrigo Janot as
General Attorney of Brazilian Republic. He leaves the post demoralized. And
leaves justice even more demoralized. And also with serious problems. But that
should not astonish anyone. Everything in the great institutions of Brazilian
justice today is demoralization. From the Federal Public Prosecutor to the Supreme
Court.
Janot could have played a mediating role in the
political crisis that Brazil is undergoing, but he did not had the maturity and
the competence to do so. He preferred, always, to act guided by the great
staging of the main actors of the coup. Maybe, dreaming of becoming one of them.
He was always dazzled by the power, seeking to pose as
a star, with this peculiar pretension to importance that carachterizes some of
those who are eventually raised to positions of power.
In effect, Janot's mandate was some kind of a "canoe"
type: he was driven by the tide, that is, by the media narrative and by the
interests of the coup plot: conservative politicians and businessmen. Janot
never lead: he followed the trail of events, just trying to appear for the
cameras and searchlights.
The result of the incompetence and amateurism of his
administration at the Attorney General's Office is the chaos in which the
country was launched: large Brazilian companies are being liquidated;
state-owned companies, some absolutely strategic for Brazil's sovereignty and
development, are being sold to international companies; the public budget has
been compromised, at minimum levels, causing the total scrapping of health and
education for twenty years; unemployment is increasing at a rapid pace; the
Brazilian justice system is demoralized; huge environmental reserves are being
transferred to agribusiness; the country lost all positions it occupied on the
international scene and the Temer gang remains in power, assisted by several
other gangs, all together, under the eyes of the PGE, the Public Ministry, the
STF, dismantling the country.
Janot
leaves a cursed inheritance for Raquel Dodge, his sucessor: thousands of poorly
instructed and unexplored cases. Prevailing justice, almost all Lava Jato
operation, for example, will be reversed through the simple device of
presenting conflicts between versions.
