The Central Bank has expressed concerns over a possible alliance between the Supreme Court and the government. The bank's president, Roberto Campos Neto, said that such an alliance could undermine the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law. Campos Neto's comments come amid growing speculation that the government is seeking to influence the Supreme Court's decisions in its favor. Several recent rulings by the court have been seen as favorable to the government, including a decision to uphold the president's impeachment. The Central Bank's concerns are shared by other institutions, including the Brazilian Bar Association and the National Council of Justice. These organizations have all called for the government to respect the independence of the judiciary. The government has denied any wrongdoing and said that it respects the independence of the Supreme Court. However, the concerns raised by the Central Bank and other institutions highlight the importance of maintaining a strong and independent judiciary in Brazil.
