Celso de Mello will lead the reaction to PEC 33 in the Supreme Court.
The Dean of the Supreme Federal Court will take the lead in rejecting the Proposed Constitutional Amendment presented by Congressman Nazareno Fonteles (PT-PI); during the week, he will make a statement to try to block the progress of the bill that submits some of the court's decisions to Congress.
247 - Constitutional Amendment Proposal 33, presented by Congressman Nazareno Fonteles (PT-PI), has stirred the esprit de corps of the Supreme Federal Court justices. After Marco Aurélio Mello pointed to "retaliation" against the trial of Criminal Action 470 and Gilmar Mendes said it would be better to "shut down the Supreme Court," it will be Celso de Mello's turn, the court's senior member, to speak.
This week, he intends to make a public statement condemning the processing of the measure and stating that it violates fundamental clauses of the Federal Constitution, such as the separation and independence of powers.
The decision puts more pressure on Minister Dias Toffoli, who was chosen to report on a case against PEC 33. In addition to Marco Aurélio Mello and Gilmar Mendes, the president of the Supreme Court himself, Joaquim Barbosa, assessed that Congressman Nazareno's proposal would "weaken democracy."
In an interview with 247, the parliamentarian argues that, on the contrary, he seeks to strengthen popular representation by combating the so-called judicialization of politics (read more). here).
