Tarcísio praises Fachin's decision and advocates for transparency in the 'Dark Horse' case

cbn10 September 2026 at 18:33

The governor of São Paulo and candidate for reelection, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), praised on Thursday (10) the decision of the president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Edson Fachin, to suspend the decisions of ministers André Mendonça and Flávio Dino regarding the leadership of the Federal Police.

For the governor, the crisis affecting the STF is interfering with the Court's credibility, and Fachin's decision could halt this instability. Tarcísio stated that Fachin's posture represents a decision to "put the brakes on the situation," bring order and legal certainty.

On Tuesday (08), André Mendonça had ordered the director-general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues, to step down from his position. In the decision, the minister pointed out irregularities that motivated the measure.

The case is related to operation "Dark Horse," which investigates alleged irregularities in the purchase of chocolates by the Federal Police. The operation generated controversy and conflicting decisions among STF ministers, leading Fachin to intervene to suspend the acts of his colleagues.

New social welfare model in Higher Education: strengthen without excluding

The article analyzes the new Regulation for the Award of Scholarships to Higher Education Students approved by the Portuguese Government in May, which adjusts scholarship amounts to students' economic conditions and regional cost of living. The rector of the University of Aveiro warns that preliminary simulations at the institution indicate that around 20% of scholarship recipients analyzed (15 out of 72 cases) could no longer meet the conditions to receive a scholarship under the new rules. Although recognizing that the phased implementation until 2027/28 is positive, he argues that the reform requires a rigorous assessment of its effects, as the success of a social welfare policy is not measured only by the value of support, but also by the ability to ensure that no one is left behind.
