A meeting called by Edson Fachin, the President of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), involved Congress members, the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), and the Attorney General's Office to discuss controversial salary additions, known colloquially as 'penduricalhos'. The ongoing tension between the powers remains unresolved, as some attendees emphasized the need for the legislative branch to be involved in addressing the issue. The administrative reform proposed by Congressman Pedro Paulo (PSD-RJ) was particularly mentioned as a potential avenue for legislative action.

The presence of legislators and justices highlighted a pressing necessity: a judicial decision by Justices Flavio Dino and Gilmar Mendes mandated that certain salary additions not provided for by federal law be temporarily suspended until the plenary of the STF could review the preliminary rulings. This reflects ongoing issues within Brazil's power dynamics, where the courts and legislature grapple with their respective scopes and authorities in financial matters, showing the delicate balance of power among them.

Following the meeting, technical teams from the TCU, the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, and the National Justice Council (CNJ) will collaborate to establish a 'transition rule' in order to comply with the Supreme Court's decisions on salary additions. This collaborative effort signals a recognition of the complex interplay between judicial authority and legislative responsibility, underscoring the importance of cooperation in resolving contentious issues that affect public finances within Brazil.
