The Supreme Federal Court (STF), the National Congress, and the Federal Government have reached an agreement to maintain the use of constitutional amendments while implementing new criteria for their allocation and application. This agreement aims to ensure a more responsible and transparent process for amending the Brazilian Constitution.
The new criteria will prioritize amendments that address urgent and exceptional matters, promote the public interest, and align with the principles of the Constitution. Additionally, the agreement establishes limits on the number of amendments that can be proposed and approved within a given period.
The agreement also includes measures to enhance transparency and accountability in the amendment process. All proposed amendments will be subject to public consultation and debate, and the reasons for their approval or rejection will be clearly stated. These measures aim to foster greater citizen participation and ensure that amendments are made in a thoughtful and informed manner.
