Fachin assumes the presidency of the Supreme and preaches the “containment”

Minister Edson Fachin said, in his first speech as president of the Supreme Court (Stf), that judicial independence is not a privilege, but a republican condition and that the judicial provision requires “containment”.

“Judicial independence is not a privilege, but a republican condition. An submissive judiciary, whatever it is, even if it is populism, loses its credibility. The judicial provision is not a show. It requires containment,” he said.

“Our commitment is for the Constitution. I repeat: to the law, what comes from law. To politics, what comes from politics,” he added at another moment.

Fachin stressed that his direction will work to guarantee a plural performance, in defense of the performance of indigenous, black, women, but also opens the doors of the Court to the production sector.

The new President of the Supreme Court said that he will have a firm performance against cases of corruption and that no one is above the laws, mentioning even parliamentarians and public agents.

In the speech, in a sign that intends to have a sober performance at the head of the Stf, Fachin has not expressed any express mention of the attacks that the judiciary has received in recent years, in particular the depiction of January 8, 2023. Nor have they replied the cause and non -democratic attacks.

Fachin and Minister Alexandre de Moraes as vice -president will guide the Supreme for the next two years, ending the two -year period of the presidency of Luis Roberto Barroso and Deputy Fachin.

At the age of 67, Fachin will command the Court and, next to the jurors in the Supreme Vice President of the Supreme Court, Alexandre De Moraes, he will challenge the Court in the next two years, when he should face the conclusion of the case that led to the sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro for 27 years of prison attempts and during the 2026 elections.

The heads of the three powers and federal authorities and various states participated from the ceremony.

BALANCE

Minister Cámen Lúcia, who held the speech on behalf of the colleagues of the Stf, said that Fachin is a careful and balanced magistrate, maintaining a firm acting when he chaired the upper electoral court in part of the 2022 elections. He also regretted the attacks that the supreme suffered.

“The judges of this chamber are aware of the specific tribulations of our time, which impose an uninterrupted vigilance of the principles and values ​​of democracy, so hard conquered in Brazil and recently attacked again, ignored, outraged by appetite and illegal anti -acticic against the current law of law. The dictator is the deadly sin of politics.”

The magistrate also highlighted Alexandre de Moraes’ work capacity, which succeeded Fachin in the TSE guaranteed the entire electoral process without also omitting attacks on the electoral court, the Supreme Court and the entire Brazilian company.

The succession for the position of President follows a criterion of antiquity, that is, the oldest minister of the Supreme Court that has not yet occupied the presidency. He stays at the pole for two years, without immediate re -election. The deputy, in turn, takes on the presidency in the event of impediment and vacant place of the owner.

Gaucho, Fachin reached the Supreme in 2015, to the appointment of the then president Dilma Rousseff.
