Moraes demanded trial of Mendonça, but case will only be analyzed by STF next week; understand the dispute

oglobo15 September 2026 at 08:00

The ministers of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) participated in an in-person plenary session on Tuesday to analyze the Federal Police (PF) report that identified Alexandre de Moraes as an intermediary of Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master. The report is part of an investigation that generated an internal crisis at the Court, placing the two ministers on opposite sides.

Tuesday's session dealt specifically with Moraes' situation, but the case involving André Mendonça already has a scheduled date to be analyzed: next day 23. Mendonça is the minister who ordered the preparation of the report on the banker's messages that gave rise to the crisis.

Moraes asked that the two cases be analyzed together on Tuesday, arguing that it would not be possible to discuss his situation without also examining Mendonça's conduct in requesting the PF report. The president of the STF, Edson Fachin, however, rejected the request and decided to keep the cases separate.

Why this matters

For Brazilian readers, it matters because the conflict between STF ministers can affect the credibility and stability of the highest court in the country. Additionally, the outcome of these cross-accusations between Moraes and Mendonça may have implications for investigations involving the financial system and the independence of the Judicial Branch. Fachin's decision to separate the cases signals that the internal crisis at the tribunal will still have developments in the coming weeks.

Pensions and the Coldness of Mathematics

This opinion article analyzes the Portuguese contributory pension system, arguing for a clear separation between this system and social assistance. The author contends that those who contributed little should not receive the same as those who paid in for decades, except for elderly people who genuinely could not contribute due to a poorer and more informal Portugal. It identifies four problems with equalizing pensions: contributory justice, incentive distortion, budgetary costs, and loss of system credibility. It concludes that the State should protect those who could not contribute, but that those who could and chose not to contribute must accept the consequences of that choice, criticizing the political temptation to raise all pensions without distinguishing between solidarity and blind distribution.
