KEY POINTS
- 2,650 business entities sign manifesto led by Fiesp
- Manifesto declares institutional crisis with STF at epicenter
- Demands public STF plenary session to examine facts urgently
- Text warns legitimacy crisis threatens legal certainty and social peace
- Fiesp president Paulo Skaf declined to comment
Business associations across Brazil have rallied behind a "Manifesto to the Brazilian Nation" demanding the Supreme Federal Court (STF) examine "the facts" surrounding what they call an institutional crisis of extreme gravity. The movement is spearheaded by the Federation of Industries of São Paulo (Fiesp), which has gathered 2,650 class-representative entities as signatories.
The manifesto argues that the crisis's epicenter lies precisely in the court entrusted with the Constitution's final word. It states there is no rule of law without judges above suspicion, and that a tribunal's authority stems from legitimacy conferred by impartiality, transparency, and exemplary conduct.
“No one, no one is above the LAW!”
Signatories emphasize the STF is the Constitution's guardian but not exempt from accountability. The text demands the full court convene a public session to examine the facts, decide with absolute urgency, and avoid subterfuge or corporatism.
Fiesp and its president Paulo Skaf did not respond to requests for comment. The manifesto text was obtained by Estadão/Broadcast.
