Overview
- At a Nov. 5 meeting, the Senate’s Constitution and Justice Committee read the relator’s opinion and granted a collective view, scheduling Paulo Gonet’s hearing for Nov. 12.
- Relator Omar Aziz recommended reconduction, highlighting Gonet’s technical, nonpartisan record leading the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
- Final approval requires a simple majority in the CCJ followed by at least 41 votes in the full Senate, with leaders signaling plenary analysis next week.
- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva formally nominated Gonet for a new two‑year term, and his prior Senate confirmation in 2023 passed by 65–11.
- The CCJ also read reports on nominations to the Military Superior Court and to the CNMP and CNJ, situating Gonet’s case within a broader justice‑system appointments agenda.
