BBC News Brasil10 September 2026 at 10:34

The international agency Bloomberg reported that Edson Fachin took the "most aggressive measures to date" in his attempt to regain control of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). This movement was interpreted as a new chapter in the Court's internal crisis.

The article points out that this would be the worst crisis experienced by the STF since Brazil's redemocratization. The international coverage highlights the gravity of the political-judicial moment the court is going through.

Edson Fachin is one of the STF ministers directly involved in this internal conflict. The actions taken by him were characterized by the international press as an effort to recover control over the institution.

The way the international press covered the episode reinforces the magnitude of what is at stake at the STF, presenting the situation as an unprecedented moment in the court's recent history since the redemocratization period.
