The Senate Constitution and Justice Committee rescheduled Jorge Messias' confirmation hearing, nominated by Lula for the Supreme Court, for April 29. The session had been moved up to April 28, but returned to the original date.
Jorge Messias was nominated by President Lula to fill the vacancy left by Luís Roberto Barroso on the Supreme Federal Court and must undergo confirmation hearings in the Senate's CCJ before his nomination is voted on by the full chamber. The session had been moved up to April 28th due to concerns about lack of quorum during the May 1st holiday week, but returned to the original date due to lawmakers' attendance difficulties.
