In a recent letter to the editor of Folha, a Brazilian reader expresses concern over the conduct of Supreme Court Ministers, particularly addressing Edson Fachin, urging them to remember that their salaries are funded by the Brazilian people and to fulfill their duties responsibly. The letter reflects a growing frustration among citizens regarding the political accountability and credibility of the judiciary, especially in the light of ongoing corruption scandals.

The correspondent, Tania Tavares, voices solidarity with critics of the judicial system, highlighting how the extreme right aims to delegitimize institutions like the STF, which have historically played a role in upholding democracy in Brazil. Other readers, including Celia Regina Resende and Henry Galbiatti, echo this sentiment, discussing the pervasive corruption in Brazil and suggesting that efforts to moralize the political landscape may threaten the status quo, which has allowed corruption to flourish.

The discourse is reflective of a broader angst in Brazilian society where public trust in institutions is waning. The comments underline a fear that systemic corruption, if not addressed, will lead to continuous cycles of political strife, and emphasize the need for a collective push towards a transparent and accountable government free from corruption. The situation poses a significant challenge for the presenting government and the judiciary as they navigate public sentiment and try to restore faith in Brazil's democratic institutions.
