Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), decided today (15) to annul a contract for the assignment of use of the territory of Fernando de Noronha signed between the federal and Pernambuco governments in 2002. The change occurred for formal reasons due to the lack of legislative authorization to formalize the contract. According to the minister, the procedural measure was necessary for the analysis of the ratification of the new agreement signed between the Union and the state, which was filed last week at the Court by the Attorney General of the Union (AGU). There is no deadline for Lewandowski to decide on the issue. Under the new agreement, both parties committed to sharing the management of the island, preserving the environment and orderly use of the land. The rules state that the expansion of the urban perimeter cannot occur and irregular constructions must be restrained and demolished if they are in disagreement with the archipelago’s environmental norms. The issue of Fernando de Noronha’s management began to be questioned in the STF after the government of former President Jair Bolsonaro asked that the territory be declared Union domain for non-compliance with the sharing agreement signed in 2002. Since 1988, the island belongs to the government from Pernambuco.
