Fachin says the goal is to end the Fake News Inquiry and orders removal of accusations against Mendonça from the investigation

BBC News Brasil4 September 2026 at 16:49

The president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Minister Luiz Edson Fachin, determined that the goal is to close the Fake News Inquiry. The decision was made within the procedure that investigates alleged offenses against the Court and its members.

Fachin also ordered that the accusations involving Minister André Mendonça, also of the STF, be removed from the Fake News Inquiry. The case will now follow other procedural paths.

The president of the Supreme Court also determined that the Attorney General's Office (PGR) respond within five business days regarding the investigation request made by Minister Alexandre de Moraes against Minister André Mendonça.

The investigation request against Mendonça was presented by Moraes in the context of the same inquiry, raising questions about possible attacks on the honor of Court ministers.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.

What we want to know is about the dream

Only 30 days remain until the next Brazilian elections, which take place amid the greatest institutional crisis of the New Republic. The three branches of government are affected by an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially the Supreme Federal Court. Brazilians will choose a president, governors, senators, and federal deputies in a context where electoral programs compete for (and lose) the population's attention in the face of the erosion of ethical and moral values in public institutions.
