Ten scorpions in a bottle

oglobo13 September 2026 at 07:30

The Supreme Federal Court went through periods of dictatorships in Brazil without facing significant crises, but in 2026 it entered the biggest trouble in its history. The article suggests that internal conflicts are primarily caused by clashes of egos and episodes of omnipotence among the ministers.

Ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça are pointed out as protagonists of this crisis. According to the report, there is not a shred of public policy separating the two, indicating that the disagreements are personal and not ideological.

Alexandre de Moraes is mentioned for not having satisfactorily explained his relationship with former banker Daniel Vorcaro. This issue remains without public clarification from the minister.

André Mendonça, on the other hand, was nominated to the STF by former President Jair Bolsonaro, but has already called him a "prophet," showing a complex relationship between the minister and his nominator. The report is marked as exclusive content for subscribers.

Why this matters

The article is of interest to Brazilian readers because it exposes internal conflicts at the STF, a court with the power to decide on sensitive matters such as democracy, elections, and freedom of expression. The friction between Moraes and Mendonça, with direct political implications, affects the country's institutional credibility. The text follows a series of reports by the same outlet on managing the crisis at the court.

Fernando Alexandre may be the minister Education had been waiting for decades | By Henrique Dias Freire

This opinion article analyzes the performance of Education Minister Fernando Alexandre, praising the recovery of teachers' service time (with almost 90,000 teachers benefiting), support for relocation, and simplification of recruitment procedures, but harshly criticizing the failure to digitize this summer's exams, which forced the re-evaluation of papers and delayed the school calendar. The author concludes that the minister is "on the way" to a long-awaited change, but historical recognition will depend on the ability to transform reforms into lasting results for students.
