The current dean of the STF, Minister Gilmar Mendes, declared, in private conversations, that he considered “unfair” what happened in the Senate to Jorge Messias, Lula’s candidate for a vacant position at the Court.
Minister of the Attorney General’s Office (AGU), Messias faces strong resistance from senators to his appointment. Especially from Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), current president of the Senate.

In behind-the-scenes conversations, according to reports, Gilmar stressed that the resistance to Messias in the Senate is not due to the AGU minister’s CV, which would be appropriate for the STF.

The current dean of the Supreme Court believes that Messias would be penalized for a greater crisis in the relations between the executive, legislative and judicial branches, which would not be fair.
To the allies, Gilmar guarantees that he helps Lula’s candidate to obtain the support of senators, even if he differs from him in the decision in which he limits the dismissal of STF ministers.
