Part 6/8:
The Call for Reflection
Barroso and the STF face mounting pressure to reflect on their roles and responsibilities within the Brazilian political landscape. Critics assert that it may be time for the judiciary to step back from political rhetoric and distinction and to re-establish its commitment to impartial justice. The necessary mechanism for achieving this impartiality may require reconsidering the various judges involved in high-profile cases, including Barroso himself, given the potential for perceived bias.
