Senate Tries to Prevent Disclosure of Visits by Vorcaro and Moraes' Wife
In response to Fux, the Senate's legal team alleges that the disclosure of records could compromise "parliamentary secrecy."
TL;DR
- The Senate's legal team is urging the Supreme Court to dismiss a lawsuit demanding visitor logs for Daniel Vorcaro and six others.
- The Senate argues that releasing these records would infringe upon the independence of the Legislative Power and the free exercise of parliamentary mandates.
- The lawsuit, filed by councilman Guilherme Kilter, seeks access to visitor records of specific individuals, including Vorcaro, Viviane Barci de Moraes (Justice Alexandre de Moraes' wife), and Fábio Luís Lula da Silva (Lulinha).
- The Senate contends that Kilter lacks the specific legal standing to request this data and that the request constitutes a generic attempt to monitor third parties.
- The Senate likens the restriction on access to the protection of journalistic sources, stating that confidentiality is vital for the exercise of certain political and professional functions.
- They also assert that releasing personal information without consent or a qualified legal interest would violate the Access to Information Law (LAI) and the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).
