are 1,734 words, 35 paragraphs, 153 lines and 10,403 characters. There is an initial introduction with general considerations, “five essential points” with detailed observations and a PS to analyze today’s developments. In the most recent letter of Socrates that came to public notice, released Tuesday by SIC, the former prime minister accused the prosecution of practice “exotic theories”, having fallen in the “ridiculous” insulting “the intelligence all of us “and to award him” foreheads [iron] the more delusional imputation “that is the target.
In the postscript terminating the text, Socrates makes a” final note to comment “the arrest of Vice President of Lena Joaquim Baroque group,” harnessed to revive the smear campaign against me, charging me as prime minister and my government corruption crimes in favor “of this company. Socrates denies everything
“These charges, rather, innuendo, false, outrageous and absurd:. As I said, never intervened nor directly or indirectly in any of the alleged contests that have been referenced. ” Says only met “half a dozen times with Joaquim Baroque, stressing that there were no” special closeness between them. “
Socrates says that the current government” has awarded this group more contracts construction of the socialist government. “And you need numbers”. 0.36% in 2012 against 0.25% in 2010, remaining like this comparison for the years 2013 and 2014 “
“State Terrorism ”
At the start of the letter, Socrates aims Carlos Alexandre, “the so-called ‘judge of freedoms’, which is supposed to be the protector of guarantees of citizens from any attempt to abuse. “” Unfortunately, we arrived at a time when so much indifference to these abuses of the authorities seems to confirm that the rule of law guarantees are no longer seen as the legitimating source of criminal justice, but as relics formal exceeded. Without a criminal order based on freedom, rights, the procedural guarantees, no one is safe “
More:”. I never thought regressássemos to a time when we should remember that when the prosecution ignores the barriers that the rule of law puts it, proportionality, process guarantees, formalism, the result will always be the state terrorism. Of course, all this is a ‘guess’. “
Then open the first” five essential points, “which he calls” five months without charge. “Quips with that the prosecution has not yet had time “to present me the facts and much less evidence of the crimes imputed to me” and passes the interrogative:. “I know, speak of evidence, but how can there be evidence ‘strong ‘if you do not know what ?? After all, what concrete crime was that? Where, when and how I practiced? Exactly, that criminal acts must refute that evidence should I deny? I do not know, nor the prosecutor know, because I committed no crime. The only difference is that prosecutors do not care about that. “And he develops: the MP” has a theory, believe in it and seems convinced that does not need to prove anything to keep me stuck or even to obtain a conviction “<. /> p>
“The sense of the ridiculous”
following is the second of the “five essential points”, entitled “The violation of judicial secrecy.” Former Prime Minister maintains that “the constant ‘leakage’, criminal and selective, the confidentiality of criminal have precisely everything to do with the emptiness of this process – aim to disguise the emptiness, creating public opinion a widespread belief I have practiced crimes that prosecutors accuses me, paying you to add to the attorney general facts and evidence. “
Criticism rising tone.” At the beginning of this process we learned that can hold no facts and no evidence; now we know that it is possible, without facts and without proof, keep someone trapped; just lacked that in the end, we stay to know what we thought forever away: that in our state, we want rights, you can always order one without facts and without evidence. “
As for the danger of leaks raised by the MP, so Socrates says:. “Not only is the sense of the ridiculous that lost, it is also the respect for the intelligence of us all”
“The exotic theory” and the question
Third “essential point”:. “the new fact” Former Prime Minister says that “having received research (in fact, he had already received more than a year) banking information concerning such accounts as in Switzerland, they confirm that nowhere them’m concerned. “” Not as a starter, cotitular last beneficiary or otherwise that would allow me to have access to, or capacity to have, now or in the future, that money. Nothing! “
Socrates argues that” this has been purposely hidden because it puts in crisis the exotic theory that my friend’s money is, after all, mine, and that he was just a ‘man of straw’. “” Well, if that were so, there could be no one but several (at least one) ‘straw men’. Are “front” for the most delusional imputation. “
In the fourth” essential point “, the former socialist leader again criticizes the methods used by the MP, and in particular on the successful their detention – “was not an action of justice, was a deliberate staging” Before the end post scriptum, Socrates uses the fifth and final point, called “the crime of corruption,” to say that “the situation to which the proceeding was. is simply pathetic. “
” Newspapers report that the investigation is ‘concentrated’ now the suspect on contracts TGV, Parque Escolar, of road construction and business in Venezuela. That is, after all these months, do not even know tell where the crime was committed, in the TGV, is in schools, if the roads or into something completely different, perhaps even in a foreign country (I have heard of several of Angola Venezuela). “And then comes the question:” Is it too ask which country in the world was committed the crime of accusing me. “
Socrates writes that” who alleges crimes unfounded what do is offend and insult. “” Who holds to investigate and use the prison as the only proof not only denies the democratic justice, but places it under the awful suspicion function as political persecution instrument. Fortunately, all this is just a ‘supposed’ … “
The last paragraph of the letter ends this way:” Let us, then, waiting for the next episodes of this bad serial taste and no sense. “
