Crisis at STF: Fachin breaks silence and Moraes accuses Mendonça of crime; understand the new chapters

BBC News Brasil4 September 2026 at 01:36

The crisis at the Brazilian Supreme Court gained new chapters with friction between ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça. Moraes formally requested the inclusion of Mendonça in the so-called Fake News Inquiry, accusing him of a crime, which represents an escalation in the court's internal conflict.

STF President Edson Fachin decided to break his silence given the situation and requested clarifications from the two ministers involved in the dispute. Fachin's intervention occurs at a time of growing tension among the Court's members.

The Fake News Inquiry is one of the investigations pending at the Supreme Federal Court that investigates alleged fake news and attacks against the Court's ministers. The inclusion of a minister in the very same inquiry represents an unprecedented situation at the court.

The rumba of Jorge Carvalho

This satirical article criticizes the disorganization and lack of transparency at the Funchal City Council, led by Jorge Carvalho. Using a musical metaphor, the text denounces that essential documents, legal opinions, and explanations are missing from council meetings, yet meetings still proceed. The criticism falls especially on the chief of staff, who moved from Social Security to the council and now occupies the office, and on the apparent lack of organization that turns meetings into a "rumba" where no one knows where the necessary documents are.
