O que pode mudar no impeachment de ministros do STF e do presidente

Overview

  • Senate CCJ scheduled debate on PL 1,388/2023 for Dec. 10, with rapporteur Weverton Rocha set to file his report on Dec. 8.
  • Weverton’s draft tightens admission rules by barring individual petitions and allowing filings only by entities, parties with congressional representation, or a popular initiative with at least 1.5 million signatures.
  • The report is expected to incorporate a qualified admission threshold of 54 votes in the Senate for impeachment proceedings.
  • Weverton said he asked STF president Edson Fachin to delay the Court’s virtual plenary review of Gilmar Mendes’ injunction, currently slated to start on Dec. 12.
  • Senate president Davi Alcolumbre set a vote on the Marco Temporal PEC for Dec. 9 as tensions with the Court escalate, while the injunction could invalidate at least 68 pending impeachment petitions.
