The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Edson Fachin, received several ministers of the Court on Thursday for individual meetings in his office. The encounters took place after the cancellation of the plenary session that was scheduled for this afternoon, and precede a trial scheduled for next Tuesday.

The trial next week will analyze a Federal Police report that identified Minister Alexandre de Moraes as the interlocutor of former banker Daniel Vorcaro in messages. Moraes himself was among the ministers who met with Fachin on Thursday afternoon.

Minister André Mendonça, who ordered the Federal Police to prepare the report that will be analyzed at the trial, also met at the STF Presidency's office. Another minister present was Dias Toffoli, former rapporteur of Operation Compliance Zero.

In addition to the Court ministers, Fachin also received the attorney general, Paulo Gonet. The meeting with the head of the Federal Public Ministry was added to the president's public schedule at the last minute, as were the other commitments mentioned.

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.
