The proposed changes may also impact the organization of the Federal Judicial Branch. He ruled out that these opinions mean that criteria are being put forward and, thus, the Court would be unable to resolve a possible case on the subject.
“How is it possible that I cannot have an opinion? For example, regarding the election of ministers, judges, magistrates, that is, a reform of this importance and that you cannot say anything (…) that we can say: it is not convenient, it is not a good reform, the election is not the solution to the problem that is intended to be solved in terms of the protection of human rights,” he said.
