Is the judgment of the STF coup plan a possibility to suffer a possible future annulment of the process, similar to what happened with the case of the monthly? The discussion gained strength after Minister Luiz Fux parallel between the two cases during his vote. The analysis is by Pedro Venceslau in the CNN Backstage.
Minister Fux, when tending his vote, referred to the monthly process, noting that the penalties applied in that case were “derisory” considering the magnitude of the acts performed. This comparison opened precedents for debates on possible future changes in understanding the current case.
From 2028 the Federal Supreme Court will undergo significant changes in its composition. Luiz Fux will leave the court in 2028, followed by Carmen Lúcia in 2029 and Gilmar Mendes in 2030, making room for three new nominations.
This renewal in the ministers’ staff could result in the formation of a new majority in court, potentially leading to a different interpretation from the case. The change of legal understanding, as occurred in the monthly process, would not be an unprecedented scenario in the history of the Supreme Court.
