The Federal Court ordered this Thursday (3) the suspension of the publication of the results of the tests of block 4 of the Unified National Competition (CNU), held across the country in August of this year.
With the decision, the results of the tests, which would be released on the 8th of this month, should be suspended until the Court’s final decision on the case. Measure does not affect the calendar of other blocks.
The decision was handed down by the court of the 14th Civil Court of the Federal District and was motivated by a popular action that contested the alleged leak of the block’s evidence, which contained questions about Work and Workers’ Health.
The alleged leak would have occurred at a high school in Recife. According to the lawsuit, the test inspectors on the morning shift mistakenly opened the sealed package with evidence from the afternoon shift.
The tests were distributed to candidates, who filled in the identification fields and began solving the questions. Then the error was noticed and evidence was collected.
In the decision, judge Lucineia Tofolo, from the 14th Federal Civil Court, understood that the mistake could be considered a “leak of evidence” and the publication of the results should be suspended.
“The evidence in the file indicates that the facts were not limited to the violation of the pouch with the question books, but progressed to the leaking of the content of the questions themselves, which, while violating equality between the candidates, contaminates the continuation of the competition under the guise of immorality, thus requiring prompt action by the Judiciary in the specific case”, the judge decided.
The Federal Attorney General’s Office (AGU) informed that it will appeal the decision.
In a statement, the Ministry of Management stated that it had not yet been notified of the Federal District Court’s decision and said that the “government reaffirms its commitment to guarantee the regular continuity of the event”.
