Leader of the House, Deputy Pedro Campos (PE) suggests that the president (PT) grant pardon to “who was mass of maneuver” in the attacks of January 8, 2023 to the headquarters of the three powers.
Forgiveness, according to the vision of the leftist deputy, would be a counterpoint to the broad amnesty bill of the accused by coup d’état-and that can benefit even the former president ().
“It is a gesture to bring the discussion to where it should be: from the understanding that there was an attempt to blow,” he said.
“Now there were people who were a maneuver mass and there were those who commanded the masses. These people should have different treatment [entre elas] And we cannot let, by a poorly led debate with society, an amnesty that will forget all that was done by all these people, “he told Sheet.
The Amnesty Bill discussed in Congress can benefit even those accused of being home team and organizers of the coup attempted. For Pedro Campos, Bolsonaro uses people trapped by the attacks of January 8 to actually seek his own amnesty without giving trial.
“So much so that President Bolsonaro’s first reaction to the January 8 protests was to say that he did not compact vandalism, with destruction of public assets. Why is he now protesting by the people he said were vandals and destroyers of public assets?
The PSB leader said he considered that the chance of the amnesty project being voted by Congress “is very small,” but acknowledges that there is a debate in society about the size of the feathers because it is the first time that cases like this go to trial in the history of Brazil and the size of part of the convictions.
“There is no way to consider that these people were not part of an attempt to coup, an attempt to abolish the democratic rule of law, because that is what the people themselves believed they were doing at that time,” he said.
The penalties, he argued, were applied correctly by the Supreme Court (STF), because the convicted people committed two crimes that add up: the attempted coup d’état, wanting the deposition of President Lula, and the attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, in defending the closure of congress and supreme.
After the demonstration for amnesty in Rio de Janeiro with Bolsonaro, on the 16th, Campos released a video on his social networks suggesting the discussion about a presidential forgiveness part of the convicts.
“For these people, it would be necessary to discuss a presidential pardon for women, for older people, in order to reduce pressure on society for an amnesty that will release to Bolsonaro,” he said.
HAS Sheet He rejected the possibility of sponsoring the idea of pardon with the government, but stated that the alternative “is written in the Constitution” and depends on a political assessment of the president. The deputy is the brother of the mayor of Recife, João Campos, who has approached Lula in this term and will be the national president of the PSB.
“The pardon you understand that the person has committed a crime, that he was properly tried and that, due to a benevolence of the President of the Republic, he may have his penalty diminished, but he is still understood as a person who committed a crime. So I understand that this question of pardon could make sense in this discussion and so I also understand that amnesty makes no sense,” said the parliamentary.
The proposed pardon would not forgive everyone involved in January 8, said the deputy, but can cut when benefiting women or people over 60 or 70 years, cases considered of greater popular sensitivity, or make a dosage of the feathers, without necessarily extinguishing them completely.
“It is important to remember that Bolsonaro had more than 50 million votes, and the overwhelming majority of these voters accepted the defeat, went home and understood that in democracy you earn and you lose. A minority fueled by the president himself did not recognize the result of the and tensioned. He spent months in front of the barracks asking for military intervention and went into organized march to invade the three powers,” he said.
By granting his first presidential pardon in December 2023, President Lula forgiven mothers and grandparents convicted of crimes without serious threat or violence for the care of children and grandchildren of up to 12 years with disabilities, but was not applied to convicted of crime against the Democratic Rule of Law.
The PSB leader also argued that amnesty is not acceptable because, historically, this kind of forgiveness occurred to pacify a country after an extensive period of mutual aggression. “It is in the sense that it is impossible to do a reconciliation without oblivion,” he said. “This is not what happened in Brazil.”
Bolsonaro and his allies, in the PSB leader’s view, do not want this pacification, but expand the conflict with the powers. “Look at the most recent case of the deputy. It’s a,” he said.
“He maintains the right to be a deputy, appointed his friend to be chairman of the Foreign Relations Commission and went to live in a town in Texas where he has been opening for over two years,” he said. “My great -grandfather was exiled. He spent 15 years unable to come to Brazil until the 79th amnesty was approved.”
The deputy is great -grandson of Miguel Arraes, governor of Pernambuco during the 1964 coup.
