Brazil’s institutional clash intensified Tuesday after the Attorney General’s Office (AGU) asked the President of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Minister Edson Fachin, to suspend a colleague’s order that had just removed the Director-General of the Federal Police (PF), Andrei Rodrigues. The AGU, which serves as the legal representative of the Executive Branch, argues that Minister André Mendonça’s individual decision to remove the chief of the national investigative police force constitutes a clear violation of the President of the Republic’s constitutional prerogative and risks causing “institutional disorganization.” The request pushes a deep dispute over the limits of judicial power—a central theme in Brazilian politics—to a new breaking point.
