The rapporteur of the bill that gives amnesty to those involved in the acts of January 8, federal deputy Rodrigo Valadares (União-CE), said that part of the press is trying to hold the right and former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) responsible for the episode of the bombs in Brasília with the intention of harming the amnesty.
“In my opinion, we see that, unfortunately, part of the media is trying to throw this into the lap of the right, Bolsonaro and amnesty. I understand it completely differently: it is an isolated fact, a person who suffered from some mental disorder,” said Valadares the Folha de São Paulothis Friday (15).
On the night of last Wednesday (13), explosions set off in Praça dos Três Poderes, in the Federal District (DF), caused damage to a car and killed a man identified as the perpetrator of the explosions.
The perpetrator of the action was identified as locksmith Francisco Wanderley Luiz, aged 59. He died in front of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) building after detonating one of the explosives he was carrying in a backpack against his own head.
“This has no correlation with the amnesty and should be treated as an isolated fact. It is regrettable, but it does not affect the amnesty. If there is justice and decency in our country, let there not be any type of correlation and harm to the amnesty”, added Valadares .
Rapporteur
Deputy Rodrigo Valadares was appointed rapporteur of the Amnesty PL within the scope of the Chamber’s Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ).
In his opinion, the rapporteur expanded the scope of the text and suggested forgiveness for all past and future acts related to the attacks on the headquarters of the three Powers.
At the end of last month, the president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), withdrew the CCJ’s proposal and announced the creation of a special commission to analyze the issue.
Lula government wants to use explosions to bury amnesty PL
Members of President Lula’s (PT) government see the explosions in Praça dos Três Poderes as an opportunity to bury discussions about the possibility of amnesty for those arrested on January 8th.
Furthermore, another point raised concerns the Executive’s attempt to move forward with the so-called “Censorship Bill”, which aims to regulate social networks in Brazil.
