Do everything to turn the page as soon as possible. Do not let the terms “crimes against humanity”, “intentional negligence”, “inexcusable delays” settle a little longer in public opinion. Jair Bolsonaro had a very ready strategy, Wednesday, October 20, to try to forget the publication of the overwhelming report of the Parliamentary Inquiry (ICC) in the Senate on the management of the pandemic.

This time, however, it is not acquired that the parade of the extreme right president works. A social program, as welcome, can hardly forget that nearly 127,000 deaths due to COVID-19 (out of 604,000 deaths to date) may have been avoided if the head of state had acted differently. Accused of having “deliberately explained” the Brazilians to a “mass contamination” by the COVID-19, Jair Bolsonaro said “guilty of absolutely nothing”. “We know we did what it was necessary from the beginning,” he insisted during an official ceremony in the CEAAA state (Northeast).

In addition to the “crime against humanity”, which may be judged to the International Criminal Court of the Hague, the rapporteur, Senator Centrist Renan Calheiros, has retained nine charges ranging from “charlatanism” to “incentive. crime “, through” health offenses “and” prevanication “.

This conclusion, based on both scientific work and a detailed analysis of the president’s attitude, should compel justice to act. For the moment, senators are nevertheless lucid on the sore chances of seeing the president soon in the box of the accused. “Jair Bolsonaro benefits from immunity and he is now protected by the Prosecutor of the Republic, who remains one of his best allies. But this immunity is not eternal and our work is for Brazilian and international justice , explains to the world the Senator of the Party of Workers, Humberto Costa. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, such as the International Criminal Court will receive a copy of this Report. We now wish to create, in the Senate, an observatory of this commission to accompany the judicial investigations. “
