Flávio Dino interrupted Dias Toffoli's speech during a STF session, while Toffoli was declaring himself recused in a trial related to Alexandre de Moraes. The interruption provoked an immediate reaction from Edson Fachin, who raised his voice and demanded that Dino ask for the floor before making any intervention. Fachin, who was presiding over the session at that moment, made his discomfort with his colleague's conduct clear.
The episode reveals yet another moment of tension among the ministers of the Brazilian Supreme Court. Besides having irritated Fachin on this occasion, the report states that Dino had already caused discomfort on another occasion with Minister Luiz Fux. The divergences between the magistrates highlight the tense environment that has marked the court's sessions, especially in cases involving sensitive topics such as the trial mentioned.
