The session that will define the next steps of the case involving Minister Alexandre de Moraes at the Supreme Federal Court takes place amid a legitimacy crisis of the Court. The court's internal regulations do not clearly establish how to handle a situation considered unprecedented by judicial authorities.
Professor Alvaro Jorge, from FGV Law Rio, was consulted about the situation. He is the author of the book "The Evolution of the Selection Process of STF Ministers," which gives him academic authority on the court's functioning.
According to Jorge, the president of the STF, Edson Fachin, will have to balance three fundamental aspects: due legal process, transparency of decisions, and the internal cohesion of the court. The professor assesses that the session will not bring a definitive decision on the case.
The professor emphasizes that the session represents only the first step in the process, signaling that the issue will need to go through more stages before any resolution. The article is exclusive for subscribers and requires registration for full access.
