Sérgio Moro: Today the justices have the prospect of remaining 20 or 30 years in their position, and this is not at all healthy, especially because today the court is practically uncontrollable, because there is no institution exercising that control.
Sérgio Moro: We have that election up ahead. So let us leave it to the next elected President to make that choice.
The population will know how to decide whether it believes it is worth continuing this very close relationship between the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) and the Executive Branch — which is being called Lula's STF — or whether a change is worthwhile so that a new President can make other choices.
Sérgio Moro: Perhaps a new President could make choices of career judges or prosecutors, distinguished jurists who stand out for their independence from the President of the Republic, because the current President Lula — and I remember very well, because I was at the presidential debate alongside Jair Bolsonaro — expressly declared that the Supreme Court is not a place to appoint friends.
Sérgio Moro: He said that he would appoint people independent from the Executive Branch.
