At celebrating Minas Conspiracy for
Independence
Day the
population annoyed with their political representatives, got together and went
outside doors to demonstrate their indignation with the Executive, Legislative
and Judiciary Powers and, up to now, emphasize that nothing has changed,
despite those fake on-stage promises.
It’s important to make some reflections concerning to
that historical fact with the aid of some updated interpretations, even without
intending to go any deeper.
Nevertheless, an intriguing feature pops up: “Why only
Tiradentes was hanged?”
For having a small patrimony and little purchasing
power among the rebels, we question: “Was him some kind of scapegoat?” He was
the only one that didn’t deny his participation in the conspiracy and assumed
to be a conspirator against the Portuguese Royal Crown.
Andre Figueiredo Rodrigues, São Paulo’s
historiographer, in his book “A Fortuna dos Inconfidentes” (Unconfidents’
Wealth) reveals some features of the movement born in Minas Gerais, destroying
part of their set of ideas.
“Tiradentes was one of those rebels”. According to the
book’s author, a large amount of papers and old law-suits affirm that the explosive
new is the fact that “corruption paid
all bills” with the money of the Portuguese Crown.
By the way, this is a characteristic of republicans,
nowadays. The insurrection was a reaction of Brazil-Colony against hateful
taxes.
According to the reports, the book reveals that a
supposed big quantity of possessions assigned to the rebels represented just a
tiny part of their real patrimony. “Everything that was possible to hide, they
hid.”
Moreover, it’s wrong to assert that the gang of 24
condemned by disloyalty crimes against Portuguese Royal Crown was composed of
simple and poor people only.
“Nowadays”, states Arruda Junior, “the gangs
on service that actuate under the Seal of Justice and wearing a toga gown, allied to the traffic of
influence that contaminate the Powers, the glamour of impunity, the venality of the legal
judgment, the game of blackmailing and the illicit enrichment of the Organized
Crime and White Collar gangs are destroying Justice, and mining the
institutional bases of the democratic society that one wants to implant and
consolidate.”
This reality has powered the discussion about
political reorganization, unsuccessful cases and the diseases produced by the
malfunction of our political system. This does not occur with the Judiciary.
Among Republic Powers, Justice is the most closed,
locked and hidden one. Brazilian people can’t cross Court labyrinths and
watch what happens into their backstage, which is ill-defined and nebulous, and
smells to harmful stuff for the State funds.
Minister Eliane Calmon, Chief Magistrate of the
National Council of Justice (CNJ), have emphasized the existence of corruption
schemes enclosing members of the Justice system and created an abnormal concept
for the phenomenon she called “Bandits in Toga Vests”.
CNJ is the unique instance of control, competent
enough to investigate the criminal behavior of judges, of the kind: “Do
you know who I am?” that show almost impossible chances of being
punished. Corporative resistances try to cover up the sins that tear down the
confidence of Brazilian people on our Justice system.
When
CNJ “dared” to fulfill its role and duty, identifying judges and schemes of
criminal handling of processes, this fact strongly disgusted all those
individuals enveloped in that corporative system.
As an example, measured the correct proportions, the
matter SIMCOL is very significant, just like the operations named: Castelo de
Areia, Satiagraha, Boi Barrica, and so many others.
‘SIMCOL’ is a minor case, and for this reason it
deserves a special attention, as it happened with the northeastern citizen,
Gilberto Martins Borges. From the
“caatinga” backwoods of Oiti de Cima, on top of the Serra das Matas de
Tamboril, he was graduated Army Sergeant and certified Economist by the Federal
University of Ceará (UFC). By that time he founded SIMCOL, a Construction
Company that built, among other projects, about three thousand type “B”
residences along 40 years of hard work.
During 20 years he has fought to maintain intact his
patrimony which is sub judice, being
carved and reduced by hidden and strange forces.
From Economist he turned to a struggler for life, a
fighter, a self-taught lawyer to recover his patrimony and honor his
accumulated debts, which patrimony is being wrecked by judicial transactions excessively
suspicious and by outraged laws minimized by means of requests formally created and absurd pleads,
demeaning the importance of the Right and Laws; an unrespectful chaos of whom wants to devaluate
the Law and the extent of the Right.
The application of the law
that they make to prevail is against dignity, against honor and against the
character of Brazilian citizens.
SIMCOL issue is an example of the kind of (in)justice
that dishonored Magistrates make value to cheat and deceive the population. It
is the manipulated Right of a Duty never fulfilled.
They want to extract from the debtor what he wants to pay, by the way,
contrary to the research about Minas Rebellion, when the Crime of
Injure-Majesty was verified, considering the existence of a Rule of Laws, that
seems to be unacceptable, in the current days, therefore, in contrast of what
is registered by the historians.
The disfigurement of the law and the grotesque frauds are true and intentional
offenses to the most elementary procedural norms, made in such a vulgar way of
communicating that stain the essence of the right, the facts and the reason, by
itself. This manipulation, that lasts more than twenty years, against which he
keeps on fighting fearlessly.
