El Senado aprueba el nombramiento de Benedito Gonçalves al CNJ

El Senado federal aprobó este miércoles el nombramiento del ministro del STJ Benedito Gonçalves como inspector nacional de justicia en el CNJ. La votación fue aprobada con 53 votos a favor y 16 en contra.

El recuento superó la mayoría absoluta requerida de 41 votos. El nombramiento había sido pospuesto en mayo por el presidente del Senado, Davi Alcolumbre, debido a la falta de quórum. Benedito Gonçalves fue nominado por el presidente del STJ, Herman Benjamin, tras ser elegido por el tribunal el 14 de abril. Durante una audiencia en la Comisión de Constitución y Justicia, defendió que los magistrados deben renovar sus compromisos con la sociedad todos los días. El CNJ cuenta con 15 miembros que cumplen mandatos de dos años, con un escaño reservado para que el STJ actúe como inspector recibiendo denuncias contra jueces. El ministro forma parte del poder judicial desde 1988 y del STJ desde 2008, habiendo servido en el TSE de 2019 a 2023.
