Overview

• STF President Edson Fachin met with relator Pedro Paulo and issued a note endorsing a reform that is broad and “genuinely republican,” provided core judicial guarantees are preserved.
• Fachin stressed that vital tenure, non-removability and non-reduction of pay are instruments of independence and warned that performance evaluations must not become tools of pressure on judges.
• The court will deliver a formal submission to the presidents of the Chamber and Senate with contributions on justice-related provisions in the proposal.
• Pedro Paulo finalized a 70‑point package that includes a single remuneration table, mandatory performance goals, limits on benefits and vacations above 30 days, ends compulsory retirement as punishment and permits loss of office for grave misconduct, and restricts CNJ/CNMP from creating new perks.
• The relator is studying fast‑tracking by attaching the PEC to roughly 30 related proposals this year, while cautioning that deputies are politically wary and that a pedagogical effort is underway to build support.
