The Lula government will work to ensure that the nomination of the name for the (Federal Supreme Court) is approved by the Senate later this year.
“That’s the expectation. I think there’s time, yes. Let’s work towards it”, said the Minister of Institutional Relations, Gleisi Hoffmann.
She says that from now on government representatives will start working for the (Attorney General of the Union). “Let’s talk to the president [Davi] Alcolumbre, with the leaders, to organize the calendar”, he states.
The government would like to overcome this issue by the start of the recess, on December 23, and not run the risk that the hearing in the Constitution and Justice Committee and the vote in the plenary will only be held in February 2026, when the House returns to work.
The assessment of government officials is that leaving Messias exposed to negative news and statements contrary to his name for more than a month would be a very big risk. The process is already seen as complicated, due to Alcolumbre’s declared opposition to the nomination, as he preferred Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG).
Messias should start next Monday (24) to look for senators in his campaign to be approved. He intends to talk to all 81 members of the House.
