The Brazilian Supreme Federal Court unanimously voted on Monday that the armed forces do not have constitutional power to intervene in disputes between government powers, a largely symbolic decision aimed at reinforcing democracy after years of growing military intervention threats.
El Supremo Tribunal Federal de Brasil votó por unanimidad el lunes que las fuerzas armadas no tienen poder constitucional para intervenir en disputas entre poderes del gobierno, una decisión en gran medida simbólica destinada a reforzar la democracia después de años de creciente amenaza de intervención militar.
La vaga redacción del Artículo 142 había creado espacio para cierta interpretación, aunque la propugnada por la ultraderecha de Brasil era “absolutamente loca”, señaló João Gabriel Pontes, abogado constitucionalista en el despacho Daniel Sarmento e Ademar Borges, en Río de Janeiro. “Este no es un fallo del Supremo Tribunal que salvaguardará la democracia brasileña de nuevos ataques”, dijo Pontes por teléfono.
