Cármen Lúcia's Vote in the Plenary
On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Cármen Lúcia defended holding a separate judgment to examine messages exchanged between Justice Alexandre de Moraes and banker Daniel Vorcaro. The plenary session discusses the developments in the Master case.
Statement of Embarrassment
When casting her vote, the justice stated that she felt shame at the content of the conversations analyzed. According to her, the situation exposes a scenario that does not match the expected institutional image of the court.
The Justice's Position
Considered by many as the voice of balance in the collegiate body, Cármen Lúcia argued that separating the issues would allow for a more technical analysis less contaminated by other elements of the process. Her statement came right after the presentation of votes by other justices.
- Main request: separate judgment of the messages
- Stated reason: embarrassment with the content of the exchanges
- Context: developments in the Master case
The discussion continues in the plenary, with the expectation that other magistrates will express their views on the proposal to split the judgment.
