Alexandre de Moraes calls for electoral reform amid STF criticism

Alexandre de Moraes Supreme Federal Court electoral reform impeachment Brazil politics

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has called for significant political reforms, stating that the current Brazilian electoral model has 'failed' due to a lack of connection between elected officials and their political parties. Moraes advocated for a transition from the current pure proportional system to a mixed district system to strengthen institutions and improve governability.

In a separate development, a survey reveals that 51 out of 194 gubernatorial candidates have criticized the Supreme Federal Court (STF) or called for the impeachment of Justice Moraes over the last four years. The Party of the Working Cause (PCO) leads this group with 18 candidates, followed by the Liberal Party (PL) with 10. Other parties, including Republicanos, Missão, and PSDB, also have candidates expressing opposition to the Court.

Additionally, the Supreme Court Plenary unanimously upheld a decision by Justice André Mendonça to suspend fines and sanctions related to the management of psychosocial risks in the workplace for 90 days. This follows challenges from the National Confederation of Educational Establishments regarding the clarity of regulations issued by the Ministry of Labor and Employment.
