Lula and Senate President Alcolumbre meet at Justice Moraes' residence

On the night of 4 August 2026, President Luiz Inácio Lula and Senate President Davi Alcolumbre met at the home of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes in Brasília. The three‑hour meeting was attended by Justice Moraes and Justice Cristiano Zanin, who acted as mediators to ease tensions after the Senate rejected Lula’s nominee Jorge Messias for the Supreme Court and after disputes over the government’s 6×1 work‑schedule reform.

The participants described the encounter as a “reset” or “game zero.” No specific policy issues were negotiated; Lula reiterated that any future Supreme Court vacancy would be decided only after the October elections. The meeting restored a channel of dialogue between the executive and the Senate but produced no concrete agreements.
