On Monday (28), Supreme Court Minister Gilmar Mendes suggested that there is a delay in politics to discuss measures to determine the limits of the army’s performance in civil life.
“I always wonder why we are late, for example, in a vote on the role of the army. It is necessary to discuss this: what they can do or not in civil life, in general,” he said in an event promoted by the Sono Paulo Institute for Lawyers (IASP) in Sao Paulo.
Gilmar did not touch the topic after remembering the highest performance of the Lava Jato process to January 8 attacksIn the passage of four years of the government of Gear Bolsonaro (PL).

“We have to learn something of these last episodes, including the embodied on January 8,” said Gilmar, before we wonder directly about the army’s performance in civil life.
“We have a problem today in politicizing the military police,” he added.
