The President of the STJ, João Otávio de Noronha, stressed the role of the 1988 Federal Constitution to guarantee the Brazilian institutions and stressed the duty of the State to maintain social peace, establishing rules and vectors to maintain legal certainty, considering the legality and the principles of the Democratic State of Law.
TCU Judge Benjamin Zymler presented the constitutional framework of external control and its administrative bias, emphasizing the autonomy of the Accounting Courts, whose competencies cannot be usurped by the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branches. Federal Supreme Court (STF) Justice Ricardo Lewandowski argued that the best kind of external control is preventive, but not repressive, and based on strong planning.
