Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

A Bolsonaro-backed political bloc may pressure Brazil's judiciary overhaul The rise of Jair Bolsonaro's Liberal Party (PL) to the largest bloc in the Chamber of Deputies fuels a political drive to reshape Brazil’s political system. This push includes plans to overhaul the judiciary, which is central to the constitutional struggle. As a Justice of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes operates within this constitutional order, making him subject to the potential political pressure aimed at altering the judiciary's structure and power.

Why it matters

The political shift to the right represents a fundamental challenge to the established constitutional order in Brazil. If the push to overhaul the judiciary gains traction, it could lead to significant changes in the composition and operational independence of the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

This struggle is not isolated; the STF has already been central to unprecedented reckonings, such as convicting Jair Bolsonaro and senior military officers over the attempted coup following his 2022 electoral defeat. The potential reshaping of the judiciary is seen by some as a counter-revolution in the making.
