Temer ultrapassou a última fronteira que separa o estado de direito de uma ditadura. Por Carlos Fernandes
May 24, 2017 20:37Michel Temer ultrapassou a última fronteira que separa o Estado Democrático de Direito de uma Ditadura. Ao utilizar o artigo 142 da Constituição Federal para conter as gigantescas manifestações contra o seu governo, o golpe de 2016 entrou no perigoso terreno da Intervenção Militar. Apesar de já ter sido utilizado outras vezes em eventos de […]
