Open war between Brazilian Supreme Court judges: "It's a complete mess"

Now10 September 2026 at 19:26

The Brazilian Federal Supreme Court is experiencing a moment of strong internal tension, with an open war between its judges. Fernando Thompson commented on this situation, referring to the actions of ministers André Mendonça, Alexandre de Moraes and Flávio Dino.

Thompson considered that what is happening is "a complete mess," denouncing the existence of information leaks within the court.

These leaks include the disclosure of processes that directly interfere in the political dispute between President Lula da Silva and the opposition linked to Jair Bolsonaro and his son, Flávio Bolsonaro.

The case highlights the political tensions running through the Brazilian Supreme Court, with implications for the balance of powers in the country.

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.
