Kim Kataguiri: Now, when it comes to imposing its decision on the Judiciary itself, on the lower instances, the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) is getting beaten.
Kim Kataguiri: It is not managing to impose its own decision.
Here's the thing: if it was decided that the super salary is 70%, it's decided — that's it — everyone complies; whoever doesn't comply goes to jail.
Kim Kataguiri: Those who didn't comply lose their position, are expelled from the magistracy, because you cannot disobey a decision of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) if you are a lower court judge.
Kim Kataguiri: Now, they didn't have the courage to do that; there was pressure from the corporation, one of the most powerful in Brazil, which is the Association of Judges, the Association of Prosecutors, and then they create a working group to enable the court to... add perks — there is no need to enable anything, it's very simple: if someone received above, cut it, period.
