Why Jorge Messias Is Not the Right Profile for Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court By Hotspotnews The nomination of Jorge Rodrigo Araújo Messias, current Attorney General of the Union (AGU), to fill the vacancy left by Luís Roberto Barroso on the STF, formally sent by President Lula in April 2026, presents the Brazilian Senate with a critical decision.
