Commentator José Eduardo Cardozo and businessman and former federal deputy Alexis Fonteyne discussed, this Friday (21), in O Grande Debate (from Monday to Friday, at 11pm), about the impact on the STF (Supreme Federal Court) of the appointment of Jorge Messias to the Court.
The current attorney general of the Union stated that he will seek to demonstrate to the Federal Senate that .
Cardozo understands that Messiah will be a good addition to the Court.
“The choice of Jorge Messias was strictly correct, he has been a civil servant for more than 20 years, a prosecutor at the National Treasury, one of the positions that is very difficult to access for all law graduates who want to occupy public careers, he performed very noble functions in the Executive Branch”, he defended.
“No judge is neutral, they have to be impartial, not neutral. And particularly the constitutional courts, as they interpret the application of the constitution and principles that encompass many views, have a political background”, he continued.
Fonteyne assesses that the nomination brings the STF increasingly closer to the left.
“The impact is of a STF that will have, among its eleven members, nine appointed by Dilma and Lula, of course, an ideologically very left-wing spectrum,” he said.
“Messiah, we have some issues that worry me a lot. Extremely young for a position that I think requires a lot of experience, notorious legal knowledge, parsimony, maturity, a package so you can maintain a balance in your judgments and a Supreme Court that worries all Brazilians because he is literally carrying out a witch hunt against the Brazilian right”, he continued.
