The STF has no right to be wrong today

oglobo15 September 2026 at 04:10

An opinion article states that the ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) face a crucial decision, with Brazil watching. The text suggests the Court can follow two paths: to rebuild itself or to remain in "moral misalignment."

According to the article, if the ministers choose reconstruction, they will hold a historic, painful, but respectful session, beginning the recovery of the institution's lost credibility. If they opt to maintain the current state of affairs, they will cause damage not only to themselves but mainly to the Brazilian Republic and democracy.

The article argues that the second hypothesis must be ruled out and states that from this trial, only one winner can emerge: Brazil. The text does not specify which trial is being referenced, as it is subscriber-exclusive content.

Why this matters

The credibility and integrity of the STF directly affect Brazilians' trust in democratic institutions. A trial considered legitimate can begin to rebuild the Court's image, while a contested outcome can deepen the credibility crisis of the Brazilian judiciary. This piece represents a call for judicial responsibility at a moment considered decisive for the country.
