Lula Demands Renewal in the Judiciary
During an interview with Record, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) reinforced the need for structural transformation in the Judiciary. He emphasized that the tenure of Supreme Federal Court (STF) ministers should be limited, avoiding lifetime mandates.
Objective Criteria for Selections
Lula argued that the process of nominating new ministers needs to follow more transparent and technical parameters. According to him, the current selection method allows for excessive political influence and lack of renewal.
- Mandates with defined duration
- Periodic performance evaluation
- Participation of different sectors of society in the selection
