Recently approved by the Senate for the position of minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), André Mendonça may take office on December 16th. Sources linked to the presidency of the court told the state that the date is studied by President Luiz Fux.
In a statement, Fux stated that he intends to swear in Mendonça this year, but did not reveal dates. He had already expressed interest in holding the ceremony in 2021. The president of the Supreme, therefore, should have meetings with André Mendonça in the coming days to define the procedures for the inauguration and organize the details with the ceremonial team.
The magistrate congratulated his future colleague and said he felt “unique satisfaction” for his approval in the Senate, as he recognized his “merits for occupying a seat” in the court. He further stated that with Mendonça the Supreme “returns to be stronger with its complete composition”.
+Commitment to bring a ‘terribly evangelical’ to the Supreme Court
“I express unparalleled satisfaction with the approval of André Mendonça because I know of his merits in occupying a seat on the Federal Supreme Court. In addition, as a result of his work in the Federal Attorney General, he dominates the themes and procedures of the Supreme Court, which once again becomes stronger with its complete composition. I intend to swear in the new minister this year”, says the note sent to the press.
The date of the 16th is evaluated by the Supreme Supreme Court because of the short time to organize the inauguration next week. The court goes into recess on the 17th. In the final stretch of work in the semester, the ministers judge two major processes that should occupy the next sessions in the plenary and hinder the organization of the event. These are the review of the Sanitation Regulatory Framework and the analysis of the action that prohibited police operations in favelas in Rio de Janeiro during the pandemic.
In all, Mendonça waited 141 days, the equivalent of four months, to be judged by the Senate’s Committee on Constitution, Justice and Citizenship (CCJ). The president of the collegiate, Davi Alcolumbre (DEM-AP), stopped the analysis of the nominee by the Palácio do Planalto in an attempt to get a new candidate to be placed: the attorney general of the Republic, Augusto Aras.
The maneuver failed and Mendonça arrived to be judged with broad support from the Evangelical bench in Congress and assent from the rapporteur Eliziane Gama (Cidadania-MA), who became the first woman to produce the report on the analysis process of the nominee for the vacancy in the Supreme Court . Pastor of the Esperança Presbyterian Church, in Brasília, Mendonça already sought, in the first minutes of the meeting, to detach himself from Bolsonaro and the blemish he placed as a “terribly evangelical” candidate. The tactic secured approval by 18 votes to 9 in the CCJ and by 47 votes to 32 in the Senate floor.
