The minister decided on Monday (22) to adopt abbreviated rite for the action in which solidarity requests, practice that the (Supreme Court) himself prohibited in 2015.
In his order, Moraes said he gave ten days to demonstrate the Presidency of the Republic and Congress and then five more days for the position of the Attorney General of the Union and the Attorney General’s Office.
The minister stated that “given the relevance of the matter and its special meaning for the
Social Order and Legal Security “is adequate to adopt an abbreviated rite for the analysis of the case.
The direct action of unconstitutionality entered last Wednesday (17) and is authored by the solidarity, party chaired by the deputy (SP), who the next day was confirmed rapporteur in the Chamber of the Amnesty Project to convicted of scammer acts.
Moraes was chosen to report the action by draw, according to STF information.
The already presented on the 16th to the STF an action in which he proposed that the members of the Court have a greater shield against. Already the next day ,.
Paulinho da Força is one of the closest deputies of the Supreme Ministers, especially Moraes, a condition that made him receive from the President of (Republicans-PB), a. The choice took place in an articulation so that the house only takes a reduction in penalties, not a total forgiveness, in an agreement involving the Supreme Court ,.
In the action on the business financing of parties and candidates, solidarity says that the current system of majority use of public money has been unconstitutional.
Paulinho’s party says that the funds of the Electoral Fund, which only in 2024 totaled R $ 5 billion, are insufficient, given the continental dimensions of Brazil, an amount that could grow even more if there is no immediate reinforcement of private funding.
It also says that the supposed insufficiency of funds has generated (movement of electoral funds without knowledge of justice). “The political world is increasingly concerned about financing electoral campaigns as a result of the explosion of ‘cashier 2’ and the advancement of organized crime in the cost of these activities.”
The play also states that the billionaires parliamentary amendments, which move about $ 50 billion a year, have also created an environment of inequality compared to candidates, benefiting federal deputies and senators in the dispute.
“In 2024, there were still R $ 54 billion of federal public funds directed, via imposing parliamentary amendments, to the priorities established by the holders of federal deputy and Senator of the Republic, who use such amounts to make local projects viable, thus creating a ‘reelection machine’ that elects mayors and reelect parliamentary, perpetuating the concentration of power and the renewal of the class. Politics, since the entries are not equal to dispute. “
Paulinho’s party asks the Supreme Court to declare the unconstitutionality of the current model of financing electoral campaigns and establish a deadline for the National Congress to take advantage of objective criteria for donation by companies.
While this does not happen, it asks the STF itself to grant precautionary measure by defining the parameters for hybrid (business and public) financing for the 2026 campaign.
“This is a need for adequacy. It was already possible to verify that the electoral fund is not sufficient and that box 2 and excessive use of the machine cannot be normalized. Democracy gets stronger with broader participation in elections without burdening the state too much,” said Solidarity Vice President Felipe Espírito Santo.
The money from contractors and banks formed by 2015 the main source of resources of candidates and parties and ended up being in the wake of Operation Lava Jato and a few years after the trial of the monthly scheme.
Lava Jato investigations, for example, pointed out that some of these contributions were made by companies to parties and candidates with the objective of gaining advantages in public contracts.
Breaks in the legislation maintain the financing of companies to this day, although to less volume, through the individual’s individual.
After the ban, Congress approved the creation of the Electoral Fund in 2017, which, along with the Party Fund, is one of the main sources of party funding and candidates. Last year, these two funds exceeded the figure of $ 6 billion.
In Congress and in the Supreme Court itself there are several advocates of the return of business financing.
since last year members of the Congress and Supreme Court have advocated the return of electoral donations from companies on the grounds that the public funding model was not well assimilated by the population and even caused new distortions, such as the increase in Caixa two.
