Brazil: Lula Proposes Judicial and Electoral Reform
Brazilian President Lula da Silva is actively proposing significant reforms to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) nomination process and advocating for the revocation of the Electoral Fund. These proposals, while currently lacking detailed legislative frameworks, signal a potential executive push to reshape judicial independence and campaign finance ahead of the 2026 elections. Confidence in the immediate legislative success of these proposals is medium due to anticipated congressional resistance.
