Negationist former judge commits public crime

VACCINES || Negationist former judge Rui Fonseca e Castro has openly committed what he admits is a public crime, in order to push his ‘genocide allegations’.

Now ‘expelled’ from sitting as a magistrate and returned to practising law, Mr Fonseca e Castro has published a two-minute video on his Facebook page calling President of the Republic Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa a “genocidal assassin … responsible for the death of thousands of people in Portugal due to injections of experimental pharmaceutical substances”.

The intention clearly is to goad the Public Ministry into pressing charges – although these could be ‘dropped’, explains Expresso, “if the president expressly declares that he desists.

“In other words, there will only be a case if Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa wants one,” says the paper. And this likelihood, in the midst of current crisis on the edge of Europe, is possibly the last thing on the minds of anyone at the president’s office.

The fact remains, nonetheless, that Mr Fonseca e Castro is agitating for exposure.

Says Expresso, he delivered a complaint against Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in August of 2021, which he says has been blocked “completely”.

“Maybe this way” the Public Ministry “will move more quickly”, he suggests.

Article 326 of the Penal Code refers to defaming or insulting the President of the Republic and is punishable with up to three years in prison – something Mr Fonseca e Castro seems willing to risk to expose what he believes are the “very serious adverse effects” of the vaccines produced to combat Covid-19.
