Overview
- The Senate's Constitution and Justice Committee set Jorge Messias's Supreme Court confirmation hearing for April 28 after reading his nomination.
- Messias is pressing opposition senators for support as PL and Novo declare a no vote, with allies banking on the secrecy of the floor ballot.
- Government negotiators are offering seats in regulatory agencies to secure votes for Messias, and party leaders report roughly 48 commitments so far.
- The Chamber's Constitution and Justice Committee scheduled an April 22 vote on the plan to end the 6x1 workweek, which the government also advanced through an urgent bill.
- Lula replaced INSS chief Gilberto Waller after the benefits backlog reached about 2.6–2.7 million applications, and a CPI push to indict three Supreme Court justices has some ministers warning the Court could become a 2026 campaign target.
