The Guanabara Palace was a target of action
After 125 years of judicial dispute, the process that cedes possession of the Guanabara Palace to the Union was definitively closed, the current seat of the government of Rio de Janeiro was requested by descendants of the royal family since 1895.
Last week, the case was definitively dropped in the Federal Supreme Court (STF), the last act to close the case. The latest appeal of the lawsuit, initially proposed by Princess Elizabeth, was judged by the first class of the STF in June.
The rapporteur of the case, Rosa Weber, denied any possibility of reviewing the decision of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). In 2018, the Court unanimously decided that the assets belonged to the Union.
The palace was once the home of Princess Elizabeth. However, the property was acquired with resources from the National Treasury. Rosa Weber transcribes part of the STJ’s decision:
“With the proclamation and institutionalization of the Republic, the fundamental circumstances that justified maintaining possession of the palace ceased to exist, considering that birth privileges, noble forums, honorific orders, privileges and titles were extinguished. As a result, the State obligations provided for in the laws of the pre-imperial family era were ipso facto revoked by the new imposed order, including possession that is the subject of the lawsuit ”.
Accompanied Minister Rosa Weber: Alexandre de Moraes and Luís Roberto Barroso. Minister Marco Aurélio argued that the appeal must continue in the Supreme Court. Luiz Fux declared himself offside.
