The ministers of the Supreme Court are facing a grave internal crisis that represents a danger to the institution. The text itself states that ministers "carried bombs into" the court, indicating that the threat no longer comes from external agents but from within the court itself.
The president of the STF, Luiz Edson Fachin, will have the mission to end what is considered the biggest crisis in the court's history. The expectation is that he will use Solomonic wisdom to mediate the conflict, with the main focus being the preservation of democracy.
The specific conflict involves ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça. Alexandre de Moraes allegedly intended to use the fake news inquiry against André Mendonça, creating friction between the two.
André Mendonça is pointed out in the article as responsible for overstepping his functions by directing the investigation and overreaching into attributions that would belong to the Federal Police, which aggravated the internal dispute in the court.
