STF Launches Public Campaign to Help Brazilians Track Congressional Earmarks

The initiative implements Justice Flávio Dino’s orders by turning court transparency rules into accessible guidance for civic oversight.

Overview

  • Branded 'De Olho nas Emendas,' the campaign will air on Rádio Justiça, TV Justiça and the Court’s social media through April 10.
  • A dedicated site explains four types of amendments and links to the federal Transparency Portal, the Chamber’s Orçamento Aberto app and the MPF complaints page.
  • The outreach follows 2025 STF decisions that require traceability for payments, including identifying the proposing lawmaker and the recipient entity.
  • Flávio Dino directed the federal government to produce identical content for TV Brasil, Agência Brasil and Voz do Brasil.
  • Congressional leaders responded by defending amendments as a constitutional prerogative and urging institutional harmony, as Brazil’s CPI 2025 score held at 35 with a 107th-place ranking.
