A group of retired ministers of the Supreme Federal Court sent a letter to Minister Edson Fachin expressing support for the Court and demanding a 'public' and 'rigorous' investigation into the crisis affecting the tribunal. The document was signed by prominent figures in the history of the STF.
Among the signatories are Celso de Mello, Rosa Weber, and Joaquim Barbosa, who represent a tradition of service to the highest court in the country. A total of 13 retired ministers joined the document, demonstrating a unified position from the court's historical judiciary.
In the letter, the former ministers classify the current moment as the 'most acute crisis' faced by the Court, highlighting the gravity of the situation that prompted the mobilization of the court's veterans. The statement seeks to demonstrate that the institution has the backing of its history even in times of turmoil.
The signatories' expectation is that Fachin, within his attributions, adopt a firm response that ensures transparency and rigor in addressing the crisis, reinforcing the STF's credibility before Brazilian society.
