Erika Hilton
113:11
Thank you, President. What a joy to have been selected to have 15 minutes and to be able to set out the issues in the plenary session, not having to speak hurriedly, rushed, scrambling to organize my thoughts at the last minute.
Erika Hilton
113:25
I could not begin my speech this afternoon without mentioning the important, historic, and exemplary trial currently taking place at the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal).
Erika Hilton
113:37
About: try and convict perpetrators of crimes against human rights defenders
We waited, for years, crying out every day for justice for Marielle Franco and Anderson, until their perpetrators were duly convicted.
Why it was classified this way · 78% confidence reports awaiting conviction of the perpetrators without proposing new action.
Erika Hilton
113:51
Today, Brazil, democracy, defenders of human rights, Black women, the favela kids, LGBTQIA+ people, those who believe in Justice, receive this decision of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) with joy.
Erika Hilton
114:11
We do not have the joy of having the comrade among us, doing, acting, building politics and defending a project of a plural Brazil, a project of a diverse Brazil, a project of Brazil that does not tolerate the execution of a woman for being who she is, for representing who she is.
Erika Hilton
114:32
However, there is joy in seeing that, at least, those who thought they would go unpunished for bringing down a body were mistaken, for the execution of Marielle Franco and Anderson is not just the execution of a woman, but also the execution of a project.
Erika Hilton
114:52
By toppling that woman's body, they expected that we who are similar to her, who believe in the Brazil she defended, who confront the powerful and their structures of power with our heads held high, would be intimidated, would cower, would back down, retreat and give up on the project of country defended by comrade Marielle Franco.
Erika Hilton
115:21
They were mistaken, for they shot at a project and forgot that it was a seed.
Erika Hilton
115:31
From that seed many, many fruits have emerged.
Erika Hilton
115:34
About: revoke mandates of parliamentarians involved with militias
Fruits emerged so that today we could be here saying this, even if belatedly, even though the Plenary of this Chamber did not have the courage, the dignity, the decency to revoke Deputy Brazão's mandate.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence criticizes the lack of removal from office and calls for punishment of the militiaman deputy.
Erika Hilton
115:58
About: revoke mandates of parliamentarians involved with militias
It should be recorded that this militia-affiliated Deputy, involved in the crime against the Councilwoman from the city of Rio de Janeiro, was not stripped of his mandate by the Chamber of Deputies for that reason, but for excessive absences.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence points out that removal from office did not occur because of a crime, suggesting it should have.
Erika Hilton
116:13
About: suspend salary payments to imprisoned public officials
This is a shame! Even more shameful, if that is possible in this case, is for us to know that the councilor of the Court of Accounts of the State of Rio de Janeiro continues, even while imprisoned, to receive a salary.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence denounces that an imprisoned councilor continues to receive a salary and calls it shameful.
Erika Hilton
116:32
About: investigate and stop salary payments to militia members in public bodies
What is being stated is that the Brazilian people have been paying salaries to militiamen, to criminals who infiltrate Brazilian institutions to cover themselves, to protect themselves, to cover up their crimes.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence states that the people pay militias' salaries and asks for this to be stopped.
Erika Hilton
116:50
About: investigate the relationship between politics, police, and militias
There is an intrinsic, historical and structural relationship between politics, the police, militias, and organized crime in the State of Rio de Janeiro and throughout Brazil.
Why it was classified this way · 74% confidence describes a historical relationship between politics, police, and militias without demanding a specific measure.
Erika Hilton
117:02
About: combat murders of women human rights defenders and femicides
Today, we receive with joy the news about this sentence, and we hope it will serve as an example so that none of us has her life interrupted, has her rights denied.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence hopes that the sentence will serve as an example to prevent further executions.
Erika Hilton
117:18
We hope that we can close this open wound, this deep sore that was left from that fateful, sad and painful moment on March 14, 2018.
Erika Hilton
117:34
I take this time at the podium to send a hug to Marielle Franco's family, to her sister, Minister Anielle, to her daughter, to her parents, who tirelessly, even with much pain, much anguish, without answers, did not rest for a single minute.
Erika Hilton
117:58
They are brave, they are courageous, they have kept Marielle Franco's memory, legacy, work and contribution alive, even in the face of a pain that is impossible to measure.
Erika Hilton
118:13
It is impossible to measure the pain of a daughter, the pain of a mother, of a father, of a sister who receives the news that a loved one, a family member, was executed in the way Marielle Franco was.
Erika Hilton
118:27
May this condemnation, the sentence handed down today by the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal), serve as solace!
Erika Hilton
118:36
I also send a hug to her partner, Councilwoman Monica Benicio, who was here in Brasília.
Erika Hilton
118:45
She was likewise a tireless fighter in search of justice, in search of answers, so that the executors and the masterminds behind this barbaric execution would be discovered.
Erika Hilton
119:00
About: combat persecution of human rights defenders, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community
This country persecutes defenders of human rights, persecutes women, persecutes the LGBTQIA+ community, historically.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence states historical persecution of groups without detailing a specific policy.
Erika Hilton
119:09
About: reduce killings of human rights defenders and femicides
Brazil, which has the record for executions of human rights defenders and of the LGBT population, now also shows an increase in the number of femicides.
Why it was classified this way · 76% confidence cites record numbers of executions and an increase in femicides as statistical data.
Erika Hilton
119:21
The execution of Marielle Franco brings with it all these elements.
Erika Hilton
119:26
It brings violence against women, brings violence against the people of the favelas, brings violence against the LGBTQIA+ community.
Erika Hilton
119:33
There are reports that many names were considered before the execution of this crime in the State of Rio de Janeiro, but not by chance, Marielle was chosen.
Erika Hilton
119:47
Minister Cármen Lúcia's vote says this: "It is much easier to kill women politically, physically, morally".
Erika Hilton
119:58
It is a misogynistic, patriarchal, hateful State that persecutes and kills a Councilwoman, democratically elected, and constantly kills anonymous women.
Erika Hilton
120:11
About: present proposals to reduce violence against women and femicide
There is a brutal increase in femicide in our country.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence states a brutal increase in femicide without presenting a concrete proposal in this speech.
Erika Hilton

About: preserve full protection of childhood when regulating legal ties with minors
I used this podium yesterday to speak out about that disgusting, shameful sentence from the Court of Justice of the State of Minas Gerais, which said that a 12-year-old child was the wife of a 35-year-old man.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence criticizes a sentence that validated child marriage and defends protection for children.
Erika Hilton
120:28
This crime and this sentence are symptomatic of this Brazil, of this reality.
Erika Hilton
120:41
About: provide reparations to victims of violence and their families
We need to make a profound reparation, to give dignity to those who are still treated and seen as unworthy.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence declares 'precisamos fazer uma reparação profunda', proposing concrete action.
Erika Hilton
120:52
About: guarantee protection for women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and peripheral populations
We need to guarantee the protection of women, of the LGBT community, of the peripheries, of all those people who are made invisible in the eyes of society, in the eyes of public policy, in the eyes of the Judiciary, in the eyes of the Deputies of this House many times.
Why it was classified this way · 92% confidence explicitly states 'precisamos garantir a proteção' of these groups.
Erika Hilton
121:13
And when they are remembered, it is not to seek dignity, citizenship, equity, rights; they are remembered to be targets of mockery, ridicule, humiliation, so that their rights are even more stolen, seized.
Erika Hilton
121:31
About: promote public debate and clarification about policies
It is necessary to have a qualified debate about the Brazil we want, about the project of democracy we defend.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence says 'É preciso fazer um debate qualificado', calling for public discussion.
Erika Hilton
121:39
Yesterday we saw the exaltation of the dictatorship, of torture, the tearing apart of democracy.
Erika Hilton
121:49
About: promote public debate and clarification about policies
This occurred yesterday, not long ago. We need, starting from this case and so many others that occur throughout Brazil, to discuss what kind of Brazil we want, what kind of politics we want, what responsibilities institutions have in the face of barbarism, violence, inequality, hatred and intolerance.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence calls to discuss which Brazil and what institutional politics we want.
Erika Hilton
122:11
I could not use this podium today, Mr. President, esteemed Deputies, to speak of anything other than this condemnation, than this crime, which does not end here.
Erika Hilton
122:22
About: seek greater reparation and justice for victims
This sentence is a part, it is an answer, but there is still a need to seek further reparation, for justice.
Why it was classified this way · 86% confidence states that the sentence is part of the response, but demands further reparation and justice.
Erika Hilton
122:32
There exists a reparation that is impossible to achieve.
Erika Hilton
122:35
After life is taken, after a person is lost, there is nothing that can bring the person back, there is nothing that can repair a family's pain.
Erika Hilton
122:45
That is why we will continue shouting that Marielle is present, that Marielle lives.
Erika Hilton
122:52
She lives in each one of us, she lives in each of the Black women and LGBT people who sit in the seats of this Parliament.
Erika Hilton
122:58
She lives in each of the girls and women who are outside this Parliament, fighting, shouting, struggling for justice, for rights, for citizenship, for equity.
Erika Hilton
123:11
This is the example that must be followed.
Erika Hilton
123:12
This is the path we must follow in search of dignity, in search of reparation, of justice, of a society, of a model of a country increasingly more humane for those who have been dehumanized in their essence, were dehumanized at birth, because of their skin color, the territory where they were born, their economic condition, their ZIP code, their sexuality, their gender.
Erika Hilton
123:41
It is inadmissible that being who we are, with human characteristics, serves as an instrument to trivialize our rights and our lives.
Erika Hilton
123:50
It is inadmissible that our humanity be the justification for stealing our opportunities, for stealing from us, many times, our lives.
Erika Hilton
124:03
We will continue to cry out for justice. We will continue fighting for the invisible.
Erika Hilton
124:08
We will continue occupying this Parliament, despite those who hate us, because our presence must be unsettling.
Erika Hilton
124:15
We will not be intimidated. We will not cower before hatred, intolerance, barbarism, prejudice, which are often the pillars of this House, which should have as its pillars democracy, the Constitution, the Rules and not hatred.
Erika Hilton
124:35
About: present a national project that represents Marielle Franco's legacy
Even in the face of this, we remain here and will continue presenting a project for Brazil, a project of power, that represents what the legacy, the mandate and the life of comrade Marielle Franco represented, because we believe that Brazil is greater and better than those bitter, pale-faced people who occupy the powers of this country.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence commits to continue presenting a project that represents Marielle's legacy.
Erika Hilton
125:00
We believe that the possible Brazil emerges from the alleys, the street corners, the ghettos, the working classes.
Erika Hilton
125:09
We believe in this country. That is why today we praise this decision.
Erika Hilton
125:14
We feel inspired, even though it is still painful, because we are speaking of something that does not repair the violence that was committed, but it is an important step.
Erika Hilton
125:24
We called out, we sought, we demanded that there be an answer, and today we are seeing the outcome of this case.
Erika Hilton
125:33
About: implement a lasting, planned public security policy
We hope that this case serves so that no other case like this is repeated in Brazil, because, as long as there are executions like that of Marielle Franco, while Brazil continues to hold the record for murders and violence against the LGBTQIA+ population, while an effective security model is not ensured in the Black and poor neighborhoods of this Brazil, there will be no democracy, there will be no sovereignty, there will be nothing.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence states that without effective security in poor neighborhoods there will be no democracy.
Erika Hilton
126:01
What exists is a simulation of that. It is for her and for all of us that we will continue here fighting, struggling, demanding and believing that a better and greater Brazil than this petty Brazil, which cowardly and cruelly murders an elected Councilwoman, is possible.
Erika Hilton
126:19
And it is only possible because it is built by the hands of those who suffer and endure the pain of this unequal, barbaric, cruel, intolerant and prejudiced Brazil.
Erika Hilton
126:31
Mr. President, I ask that this speech be broadcast on the program A Voz do Brasil and by the communication bodies of the House. Thank you.
