Trump’s deputy secretary says Moraes destroyed relationship with the USA

The regulation of social networks through the judgment of the temporal framework made at the Court has also been cited by Trump in messages in which the US government communicates sanctions to Brazil.

The Brazilian government has reiterated respect for sovereignty and separation of powers and questioned the attempt of American interference in internal affairs. The Moraes Office does not comment on the case.

“Separation of powers between the different branches of government is the greatest guarantee of freedom already conceived by the human mind. No branch or person can accumulate excessive power if it is controlled by others. But a formal separation of powers means nothing if one branch has the means to intimidate others to renounce their constitutional prerogatives. What is happening now in Brazil emphasizes this point: a single Federal Supreme Court judge usurpted the dictatorial power. Other powers, or their families, with arrest, detention or other penalties, “said Christopher Landau.

According to the number 2 of the Secretary of State Marco Rúbius, “this person (Moraes) destroyed the relationship historically close to Brazil with the US to the US, among other things, to try to apply Brazilian law extraterritorially to silence individuals and companies on American soil.”

Landau also stated that the situation would be “unprecedented and anomalous precisely because this person (Moraes) wears a judicial toga.” “While we can always negotiate with leaders of the executive or legislative powers of a country, there is no way to negotiate with a judge, who must maintain the claim that all his actions are dictated by law,” he said.

‘Alley Without Outward’

The deputy secretary also said that this leads to a situation where there is a “dead-end alley, where the usurper hides behind the rule of law and the other powers insist that they are powerless to act.”
