Brazil Marks Jan. 8 Anniversary With Planalto Ceremony, STF Program

The Supreme Court highlights accountability with public tributes as it prepares to restart major Jan. 8 cases in February.

Overview

The Planalto event begins at 10:00 in the Salão Nobre with authorities from all three branches and a public viewing area outside where President Lula is expected to greet attendees.
The STF hosts the open-to-public program '8 de janeiro – Um dia para não esquecer' featuring a 14:30 exhibition opening, a 15:00 screening of Democracia Inabalada and a 17:00 roundtable in the Salão Nobre.
G1 reports that STF leaders including Edson Fachin, Gilmar Mendes and TSE president Cármen Lúcia plan to attend the court’s events.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes will not take part because of the judicial recess, though he continues to issue decisions and manage Jan. 8 case matters.
After the recess, the court resumes trials in February with 346 criminal actions in final phases, 810 convictions already issued and 564 non-prosecution agreements approved that generated over R$3 million in reparations.
