Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) used social networks, this Friday (8), to criticize the Clean Record Law. Despite voting favorably to the proposal, at the time it was approved today, according to him, the legislation only serves to “pursue right -wing politicians.”
“The Clean Record Law, nowadays, is only for one thing: to pursue right -wing politicians. Did you know that Luciano Hang is ineligible? Why? You never learned that he disputed an election. Even that they did, a preventive measure, making Luciano Hang, a businessman known to all of you, ineligible for eight years, so that he then even dreamed of a place for the Senate, vice president of the Republic or President of the Republic ”He said.
Bolsonaro said it is necessary to change the law. Or even be “more radical” and revoke it. “The ideal is to revoke this law, which will not pursue anyone else. And who decides whether or not to elect the candidate. And not a person here in Brasilia, you know who I’m talking about, ”he added.
The former president said he is working to make the illegibility limit go from eight to two years: “Yes, I could compete in the 2026 elections.”
“Today, what is the Clean Record law for the right to pursue the right?”

The proposal has Deputy Filipe Barros (PL-PR), ally of Bolsonaro, as a rapporteur in the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Commission (CCJ). The Bibo project, which aims to change the ineligibility period from eight to two years, was delivered in December to Arthur Lira (PP-AL), former president of the house.
If approved, Bolsonaro may dispute the 2026 election. Convicted in 2023 by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), he will be ineligible for eight years, from 2022 to 2030. That is, so far more than two years have been fulfilled.
