The Federal Supreme Court (STF) formed a majority, this Wednesday (27), to overturn decrees on the environmental policy of the Jair Bolsonaro government involving the participation of civil society in the deliberative council of the National Environment Fund and the composition of the Council. of the Legal Amazon.
In all, nine ministers have already positioned themselves in favor of the action proposed by the Sustainability Network against a federal government decree that reduced the participation of civil society in the National Environment Fund.
Of the nine ministers, six were in favor of adding two other acts of the Ministry of the Environment to the judgment. One of them, in practice, removed the governors of states in the Legal Amazon from the National Council of the Legal Amazon. The other extinguished the Organizing Committee of the Amazon Fund.
The only minister so far who has taken a stand against the action was Nunes Marques, who claimed that there was a risk of creating a precedent in the sense of removing the power of the President of the Republic to change the composition of bodies of this type.
The trial started on April 7, but was interrupted due to lack of time.
This Wednesday (27), ministers Edson Fachin, LuÃs Roberto Barroso and Dias Toffoli followed the same understanding as minister Cármen Lúcia, rapporteur of the action. It was her understanding that the other two acts of the federal government should be added in the judgment of this action. Ministers Alexandre de Moraes and Ricardo Lewandowski had already accompanied Cármen in the previous session.
Minister André Mendonça, who had also voted, was in favor of the action, but against the addition of other acts of the federal government in the current judgment. A similar understanding was adopted by Minister Rosa Weber and Minister Gilmar Mendes at this Wednesday’s session (27).
The only vote left is that of the president of the STF, Minister Luiz Fux, who asked to have the reading taken at this Thursday’s session (28).
