OAB Piauí released on Tuesday (8) a letter requesting the removal of Minister Alexandre de Moraes from the Supreme Federal Court (STF). The document also proposes the recusal of the Attorney General, Paulo Gonet, and advocates for a comprehensive reform of the Brazilian judiciary.
The entity points to an institutional crisis at the STF and presents the measures as a response to the scenario of tension between the branches of government. The letter argues that the actions taken within the court would have compromised impartiality and the balance between institutions.
The request for Moraes' removal occurs amid controversies involving the minister's decisions in combating attacks on democracy and the electoral process. OAB Piauí maintains that there is a need for structural changes in the Judiciary to ensure greater transparency and control over judicial decisions.
The reform proposal advocated by the entity includes changes in oversight mechanisms and the internal functioning of the STF. The document also seeks to redefine the limits of the ministers' actions to prevent abuses of power.
