POR QUE NINGUÉM CONSEGUE PARAR O STF?

Summary

This cut from Market Makers features constitutional lawyer André Marsiglia arguing that Brazil's STF has become the dominant power in Brazil, while Congress is submissive and no longer performs its checks-and-balances role. He claims the Lula government increasingly relies on STF decisions for governability, and that parliamentarians are judged by the STF under subjective concepts not defined in legislation, such as fake news, disinformation, and denialism. The discussion is political and institutional, with no direct securities, commodities, or investment recommendations.
