The head of the government in the Senate declared that the initiative “eases” the context of accusation for the ongoing impeachment of the ministers of the Supreme Court
Leader of the Lula Government in the Senate, Jacques Wagner (PT-BA) said on Thursday 7 that senators played “an important role” in approving the PEC which limits the individual decisions of Federal Court of Justice (STF). According to the senator, the provision is important to “balance and harmonize” relations between the Powers.
“What was voted there was: an injunction needs to be sent to the Supreme Court because it’s not reasonable for an injunction to sit on the back burner for one, two or 10 years. There was nothing offensive about it.” [ao STF]”, said the senator in his speech after being honored at the 10th anniversary party of the Prerogativas group, held in Sao Paulo. The collective is made up of progressive lawyers and jurists close to the PT.
The senator also specified that there are several requests for the impeachment of STF ministers on the table of the Senate presidency. Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), and that the vote on the measure “eases” the pressure to carry forward these initiatives. The amendment to the Constitution approved by the Senate prohibits ministers from overturning laws passed by Congress with monocratic decisions and establishes a time limit on the duration of requests for review of trials.
Contrary to the PT, Wagner voted in favor of the proposal, which angered STF ministers who believed there had been a “betrayal” on the senator’s part. At the time he said that the vote was “strictly personal”, in an attempt to separate his position from his position representing the government in the Senate. PT president Gleisi Hoffmann even said that the vote was a mistake, but Prerogativas intervened in the senator’s defense.
In his speech, Jaques Wagner also warned about the 2026 elections and said that it is necessary for the progressive camp to dedicate itself to the election of senators so that the far right does not form the majority in the Senate.
Lula has ‘returned’ the name to Jorge Messias
Another person honored by Prerogativas was the Union Attorney General, Jorge Messiaswho was in the running to be nominated Lula (PT) for the STF, but was ignored Flavio Dino (PSB-MA). During the ceremony, Marco Aurelio Carvalhocoordinator of Prerogativas, said that a minister, whose name he did not reveal, told Messias that he should impose himself more because he has the support of progressive parties, lawyers and activists.
The Union Attorney General would have responded that Lula owes him nothing because he “returned” his name when he chose him for the job. At the height of Operation Lava Jatoin 2016, Messias was called “Bessias” in a conversation between the former president Dilma Rousseff (PT) and Lula who was intercepted and then released by the then judge and now senator, Sergio Moro (União-PR).
The Prerogativas celebration was characterized by references to the group’s actions in defense of Dilma during the impeachment trial and also of Lula during Lava Jato. The collective also worked to revoke the arrest after the second degree conviction, which allowed the release of the current president even before the STF annulled the sentences against him.
“The Prerogativas group has always been on the right side of history and has had no fear, nor has it been afraid of being frowned upon. It never has been and never will be,” Carvalho said at the end of his speech.
The President and the First Lady Janja They were expected at the event, but did not attend. Lula just returned from a long trip to the Middle East and Germany, considered exhausting, and had commitments in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday. In addition to Jaques Wagner and Messias, the minister of the CGU, Vinícius Marques de Carvalho, was also present at the event. Finance Minister Fernando Haddad sent a video speech.
