Eduardo Bolsonaro criticizes Fábio Shor's appointment to Moraes' cabinet

Federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro criticized the appointment of delegate Fábio Shor to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes' cabinet, comparing it to the 2020 Alexandre Ramagem case. According to the lawmaker, the choice overlooks differences between institutional prerogatives and obstruction of justice. The criticism is part of an information manipulation strategy linked to bolsonarismo.

Federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro voiced outrage on social media against the appointment of federal delegate Fábio Shor to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes' cabinet. He drew a parallel to the 2020 blocking of Alexandre Ramagem from heading the Federal Police, suggesting a 'rotten system'.

However, the analysis highlights fundamental differences between the cases. Shor, an investigator of golpist plots and jewels linked to Jair Bolsonaro, is a public servant with no investigations against him. His appointment is technical and does not violate public administration principles, as the text states. In contrast, Ramagem faced suspicions of leading a 'Parallel Abin' to spy on adversaries and protect the Bolsonaro family. The STF blocked his nomination for breaching the impersonality principle, shortly after Sérgio Moro's resignation, in which he denounced pressures from Jair Bolsonaro to control the PF and shield allies.

Eduardo Bolsonaro omits these elements and portrays Shor as an 'ideological agent', implying the appointment is a reward for services to Moraes. Shor indicted Bolsonaro based on real evidence regarding jewels and golpist plots. The strategy aims to turn technical rigor into persecution, fueling the 'persecution' narrative and discrediting institutions that thwarted golpist actions.

Institutional independence, which bothers bolsonarismo, ensures the law applies to all, according to the argument. Facts show Shor acted on evidence, and Moraes appointed within the law.
