Erro de Parsing: Unexpected token 'T', "The minist"... is not valid JSON
The minister Cármen Lúcia, from the Supreme Federal Court (STF), stated on Friday (Apr 17, 2026) that the crisis of confidence in the Judiciary is "grave" and needs judicial recognition. Speaking at FGV Direito Rio, in Rio de Janeiro, Cármen Lúcia acknowledged errors and flaws that require improvement but emphasized the Judiciary's fundamental role in safeguarding citizens' constitutional rights. She noted a "serious, grave crisis of confidence" that must be recognized by magistrates. The minister also pointed to an alleged "international movement" seeking to delegitimize the Brazilian Judiciary. Cármen Lúcia highlighted the challenge of approximately 18,000 judges managing over 80 million cases, deeming the ratio inadequate. Recent Datafolha polls show that 75% of Brazilians believe STF ministers have too much power, while 71% consider the Court essential for democracy. Furthermore, 75% feel less trust in the STF now than before, with 43% expressing no confidence in the Court, a record high. A significant portion (55%) suspects judicial involvement in the Banco Master scandal. Fonte: O Globo.
