The president of the STF, Minister Edson Fachin, debated internally before the Court the creation of a “code of conduct” for members of the Supreme Court and other higher courts in Brazil.
Fachin’s proposal, according to STF sources, envisages the development of a code of conduct based on the experience of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, as the German Supreme Court is called.

The idea of the president of the STF is that the code provides, for example, limits or restrictions on the participation of ministers in private events, which is currently causing a lot of criticism from Brazilian magistrates.
The column reveals that Fachin’s initiative irritated some of the other ministers of the Supreme Court. Especially those in the more guarantor wing, who usually organize or participate in external events.
