The September 7 parade, held this Monday, took place amid a crisis affecting the Supreme Federal Court (STF) after the revelation of messages exchanged between banker Daniel Vorcaro and Justice Alexandre de Moraes. During the two hours of the event on the Ministries Esplanade, the authorities present watched the ceremony from the presidential podium and did not publicly show any discomfort or unease, despite backstage tensions.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had a new meeting with Senate President Davi Alcolumbre and Chamber of Deputies President Hugo Motta. During the event, Motta was seen in whispered conversations with other political leaders present at the venue.
Federal Police Director-General Andrei Rodrigues and Attorney General Jorge Messias exchanged a warm hug when greeting each other. Rodrigues made a point of seeking out Messias right after arriving at the podium, demonstrating a gesture of rapprochement between the two despite the crisis scenario.
The episode also involves a Federal Police report used by Moraes to point out alleged irregularities committed by colleague André Mendonça in conducting the investigations into the Master case and related frauds. Messias was mentioned in this report, which aggravated tensions between the organs involved in the crisis.
