Intelligence reports used by Moraes are 'lawful' and there was no monitoring of ministers, says PF director-general

The director-general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues, commented on Friday on the controversy surrounding his removal from the position. He stated that the intelligence reports used by Minister Alexandre de Moraes are "lawful," meaning they are within the law.

Rodrigues also stated that there was no monitoring of Supreme Federal Court ministers by the Federal Police, refuting the accusations that led to the initial decision to remove him.

The decision that removed the PF director from his position was made by Minister André Mendonça, who granted a request from the defense of former President Jair Bolsonaro within the fake news inquiry.

However, the removal order was later revoked by STF President Edson Fachin, restoring Andrei Rodrigues to the position of director-general of the Federal Police.

Rui Rocha: "MPs make many flourishes; they're used to TikTok"

In an interview with Jornal Económico, Rui Rocha, former leader of Iniciativa Liberal, explained the methodology behind his standout performance at the parliamentary hearing of Minister Luís Neves, where he asked concrete and focused questions that exposed the minister's inability to respond to important matters. Rocha criticized the remaining MPs for using open and too "flowery" questions, a habit he attributes to their familiarity with social media like TikTok. He defended that a good parliamentary question should be concise, closed, and preceded by a clear position from the questioner, in order to force the interlocutor to rebut or, through silence, validate his thesis. He revealed he started preparation in August, with a small team, and regretted not having had time to ask the minister what he would do if he were made a defendant.
