Lula nominates ally Jorge Messias to Brazil’s Supreme Court amid judicial scrutiny.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has nominated Solicitor General Jorge Messias, 45, a longtime ally, to the Supreme Court to fill the seat vacated by retiring Justice Luís Roberto Barroso.
The nomination, now before the Senate, aims to strengthen the court’s left-leaning majority.
Lula praised Messias’s dedication to the Constitution, while Justice André Mendonça acknowledged his qualifications.
The appointment comes amid heightened scrutiny of Brazil’s judiciary, following a January 2023 attack on Congress and a September coup plot conviction against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
