The Special Civil Court of the Federal District denied this Tuesday, 2, the action presented by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro for president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to recant. after the furniture that was supposedly missing from the Palácio da Alvorada was found in the official residence itself. The couple also asked for compensation of R$20,000 for moral damages.
Judge Gláucia Barbosa Rizzo da Silva closed the case, arguing that Lula could not be held responsible in the action, since the statements occurred while he holds the position of President of the Republic and are related to furniture linked to Alvorada, that is, public property .
The judge understood that the responsibility for any damage caused by his statements lies with the Union, not with Lula personally. Therefore, the action should be filed against the State. Furthermore, the judge pointed out that the action filed by Bolsonaro is not suitable for the Special Civil Courts.
The 261 items were located by the government last year, 10 months after they were declared “disappearing”. At the beginning of 2022, shortly after taking office, Lula and first lady Rosângela da Silva, known as Janja, accused the disappearance of objects after the departure of Bolsonaro and Michelle from Alvorada. They also publicized the poor state of conservation that they claimed the presidential residence received.
