The president (PT) would hold this Friday (12) the first meeting with members of the government to decide on the name of new members of the Judiciary since the attorney general of the Union (AGU), Jorge Messias, was rejected.
There are 29 vacancies on the PT’s table, most of them in regional electoral courts, which should be the president’s priority given the proximity of the electoral campaign. He will have to decide between the names indicated in triple lists.
The order would take place in a meeting with the special secretary for Legal Affairs (SAJ) of the Civil House, Marcelo Weick.
