The chief justice of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Minister Gilmar Mendes, proposed a binding summary to prevent 'bomb bills'—legislative proposals that create or increase expenses without specifying their funding sources.

The President of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Minister Edson Fachin, has published the proposal for a binding summary by Justice Gilmar Mendes aimed at addressing 'explosive agenda items'—legislative proposals with significant budgetary impacts. The proposal references Article 113 of the Transitional Constitutional Provisions Act, which requires legislative proposals involving mandatory spending or revenue reductions to include estimates of their financial impact. This would limit the power of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies to push high-impact budgetary bills for political purposes. The proposal is now under review, with a 20-day period for public comment before being forwarded to the Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gonet. The proposed summary could restrict legislative actions that force the executive branch to create new expenses or reduce revenues without proper compensation.

The Supreme Court of Brazil (STF) is reviewing appeals against a decision that overturned parts of the 'Marco Temporal' law, which sets criteria for demarcating indigenous lands. Justice Gilmar Mendes voted to uphold the STF's previous ruling, rejecting most requests for changes proposed by the Attorney General's Office (AGU), indigenous groups, and political parties. The Marco Temporal law stipulates that new reserves can only be established on land occupied by indigenous peoples before October 5, 1988, the date of the Federal Constitution's enactment. This policy has been supported by agribusiness sectors but challenged by indigenous communities. In September 2023, the STF rejected the Marco Temporal, but lawmakers later passed legislation opposing this stance, which was partially vetoed by President Lula. The legislature then overruled the presidential veto with strong support from the agribusiness bloc. Legal actions both supporting and opposing the law were filed with the STF. In April 2024, Gilmar Mendes suspended all proceedings regarding the law's validity and initiated mediation discussions. These discussions concluded in June 2025 with a minimal consensus. In December 202

The Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Brazil is currently reviewing appeals against a decision that overturned the 'marco temporal' rule for indigenous land demarcation. Minister Gilmar Mendes voted to uphold the previous ruling, declaring the law unconstitutional. The 'marco temporal' rule limits indigenous land rights to areas occupied by October 5, 1988, the date of the current constitution. Proponents argue this provides legal security for landowners, while indigenous groups claim it ignores historical violence and violates their rights. Mendes rejected requests to suspend the court's decision and upheld deadlines for the federal government to act on land demarcations. He also validated the legislative process, despite not formally consulting all indigenous ethnicities before the law was passed. The government has 180 days to comply with the court's order, including publishing a list of land claims within 60 days. Indigenous communities may seek monthly compensation if the government fails to finalize demarcations within 10 years. Non-indigenous occupants of lands slated for demarcation have the right to remain until the government compensates them for improvements made on the土地.
