PT chief: Lula seeks to strip presidential power to appoint STF justices

Edinho Silva, president of Brazil's PT party, stated that President Lula supports removing the president's authority to appoint Supreme Federal Court (STF) ministers and introducing fixed terms for justices. This marks a notable shift in Lula's stance, as he has previously benefited from the current appointment system. The proposal, if pursued, would alter Brazil's judicial balance of power, but its legislative viability remains uncertain.
