Centrão feared Mesías’ appointment to the STF

Although some of the group’s leaders have promised to help Jorge Messias approve his nomination in the Senate, Centrao leaders indicate there are “concerns” regarding Lula’s selection for the UNIFIL membership.

The fear of federal representatives and senators from the bloc is that Lula’s candidate will strengthen the “wing” in the Supreme Court that works to “obstruct” the push for parliamentary amendments.

The situation with modifications has become more complicated since Flavio Dino arrived at the STF. The minister took on the role of reporting on actions that called into question the secret budget and even imposed certain amendments.

Centrao members fear that increasing the number of government seats in the special task force will jeopardize the “independence” of Congress. The court has assisted the government in some cases, such as the decree of the Israeli occupation forces.

At that time, Congress chose to repeal Lula’s decree increasing tax rates. However, the STF overturned the parliamentarians’ decision, giving the federal government the upper hand.

The situation of Messias, who has already begun kissing the hands of senators, is considered “complicated.” In particular, because of the dissatisfaction of the President of the Senate, Davi Alcolombre (Uniao-AP), with this choice.

Alcombre, as stated in the article, defended the nomination of Senator Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG) to the Supreme Court. But Lula wants the parliamentarian to be his candidate for the Minas government in 2026.

Realizing the difficulty he faces, Messias intends to tell the senators that he has a different profile than Dino. In the talks, he also intends to defend the powers of Congress.
