It will be next Wednesday (1), from 9 am, the hearing of the former Minister of Justice and former Attorney General of the Union, André Mendonça, for the position of Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF).

It will be held at the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) of the Senate and will have as rapporteur Senator Eliziane Gama (Cidadania-MA), appointed by the committee's president, Davi Alcolumbre (DEM-AP).

“I will be guided by information and also by good legislative technique, without any political, ideological and much less religious prejudice. What matters at this time is the nominee's curriculum and technical capacity," said the congressman.

André Mendonça was nominated for a vacancy in the STF by President Jair Bolsonaro on July 13th. The nomination message reached the CCJ on August 18th.

Alcolumbre's delay in scheduling the hearing was questioned by several parliamentarians, a fact that generated discomfort and was classified as an “embarrassment” by the committee's chairman.

According to Alcolumbre, the decision on the agenda of the commissions and the plenary is up to the presidents and the choice does not have to do with religion or ideology.
