Mendonça requests a review and interrupts the Supreme Court's judgment on the State-Owned Enterprises Law.
The PCdoB's legal action seeks to overturn the veto on the appointment of board members and directors who hold public office or have worked within the structure of political parties.
247 - Supreme Federal Court (STF) minister André Mendonça requested a review this Saturday (11) and interrupted the trial on the State-Owned Enterprises Law.
The trial is taking place in a virtual plenary session and began on Friday (10). Initially, the deadline for voting would end on the 17th. However, due to Minister Mendonça's request for review, there is no longer a deadline for the conclusion of the trial.
The only published vote was that of the rapporteur, Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, who partially upheld the action brought by the PCdoB (Communist Party of Brazil) and voted for the unconstitutionality of the veto on the appointment of ministers, secretaries, and holders of positions without permanent ties to the public service, of a special nature or of senior management and advisory roles in public administration, according to the... Folha de S. Paul"I believe that indiscriminately excluding people who are active in public life, whether in the governmental structure, or in the party or electoral sphere, from the management of state-owned companies, constitutes odious and unjustifiable discrimination from the point of view of this core principle of our Constitution," says the rapporteur's opinion.
The PCdoB's action seeks to overturn provisions of the State-Owned Enterprises Law that restrict the appointment of board members and directors to those who hold public office or who have worked, in the previous three years, within the structure of political parties or in election campaigns.
