Senate President Davi Alcolumbre intends to suggest to Supreme Court President Luiz Fux a review of specific aspects of the agreement between the two institutions regarding constitutional amendments. The agreement, established in 2015, aims to streamline the amendment process and prevent excessive use of amendments to circumvent constitutional principles. Alcolumbre believes that certain provisions of the agreement may need to be revised to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with current constitutional practices. The Senate and the Supreme Court will engage in discussions to consider potential adjustments to the agreement, with the goal of enhancing its functionality and maintaining the balance of powers between the legislative and judicial branches.
