Deputies from the government base ask Lira to file the Amnesty PL after indictments

This Thursday (21), more than 20 deputies presented to the President of the Chamber, a formal request to archive the PL of . This movement occurs in a context of political tension, following the indictment of several people and the revelation of an assassination plan targeting President Lula, Alckmin and Minister Alexandre de Moraes. In the National Congress, the climate is one of resistance to discussing the project, although government officials continue to press for its removal from the agenda.

The request, signed by 21 parliamentarians from different parties, including PT, PV, PSD, PSB, PSOL, PRD, PCdoB, PDT, PP, União Brasil and Avante, argues that the amnesty proposal is incompatible with the fundamental principles and essential clauses of the Federal Constitution. These principles are essential for the preservation of the democratic rule of law and the separation of powers. According to the text, parliamentarians emphasize that there can be no talk of prescription or bail for crimes of this nature, and that forgiving such acts would mean abdicating the State’s institutional defense function, in addition to legitimizing actions against it.

The deputies also highlight that the project disrupts the functions of the Judiciary by preventing the proper trial of serious acts against the democratic rule of law. They claim that emptying the power of the Judiciary would interfere with essential competences, weakening the justice system and compromising impartiality in the accountability of illegal acts. This interference, according to parliamentarians, would go beyond the political sphere and constitute an attempt to subvert the constitutional functions attributed to each power. The final decision on shelving the project rests with Arthur Lira, who is responsible for the agenda in the National Congress.
