Motta Segura Amnesty, and PL speaks of ‘Responsible Obstruction’ – 03/04/2025 – Power

The mayor, (-PB), held the pressure of Bolsonarist deputies to guide the bill that proposes amnesty to those arrested for the scammer acts of 8 January.

His allied party leaders, although they have a majority in their benches to support the proposal, share the understanding that it is not the political time to discuss it. They say it is necessary to support the president of the house and share this pressure with him.

And, above all, they do not agree with the analysis of the proposal made directly in plenary, via urgency request.

Given this, the signatures for the request were collected by the retail, deputy by deputy. If the leaders signed, they would already be representing their benches, and the process would be more agile.

The party of (PL) presented to journalists a list of 165 signatures – only the PL bench has 92 deputies. According to Motta’s allies, he will be able to hold the pressure until the PL gets all 257 necessary supports.

With this, the president of the house earns time, and strengthens the hypothesis between leaders and center deputies to analyze the text in a special committee, whose proceeds is slower and was announced by Arthur Lira (PP-AL) last year but never installed.

The PL, which announced this week obstruction of voting while Motta did not decide on amnesty, said on Thursday (3) that he would follow the measure “responsible”.

“Our obstruction is not irresponsible with the house, so we are slowly putting on matters of importance to the country,” said the leader (RJ).

“We mean that we already have the majority consolidated. It’s just a matter of deadline. Of course this week is anguish, because, for those who are stuck, a minute is not 60 seconds, but an eternity. We will continue to clarify here in Parliament,” he added.

Obstruction consists of the use of regimental maneuvers to delay or avoid deliberations in Congress. In practice, the PL was able to avoid commission sessions and reduce the pace of deliberations in the slower plenary, but had no strength to prevent the relevant themes of the week.

The house approved the reciprocity bill on Tuesday (2), including with a vote of the Bolsonaro party, after already majority to approve it. The measure, which was supported by ruralists and governors, allows commercial retaliation to the sanctions of US President Donald Trump.

The commissions also had on Thursday (3) the voting of the list of commission amendments, a demand from the Supreme Court Minister Flávio Dino to increase transparency and traceability. The advertising of the lists is part of the agreement to release the amendments that were dammed.

The PL also decided to vote for the commissions to approve them. “Of course, we would like to obstruct there, but we analyzed that this could be the famous shot in our foot and lose votes to amnesty because the deputies would have their unpaid amendments,” said Sostenes.

In addition, the leader said he would also make party members’ nominations for the special commissions that will be installed from this Thursday. But, according to him, they will leave to indicate the deputies only after the other parties have already nominated their own.

Thus will occur with the special commission that analyzes the bill that expands the exemption of the, presented a new proposal for compensation to

PT leader at home, Lindbergh Farias (RJ), celebrated what he called the week of defeat of the PL.

“This week, the proposal was defeated fragrantly. I do not mean that it was the nail in the coffin, we are not giving the thing as resolved, still deserves attention, but lost a lot of space,” he said.

“If they insist on this kamikaze thesis [de obstrução por anistia]go to the increasing situation of isolation, “he added.

He further refutes that the PL has no urgent request just because leaders have not signed. For the PT leader, the approval of the bill would create a very serious institutional crisis with the Supreme Court (Supreme Court) – which began last week the judgment of the defendants who led the coup plot, such as Bolsonaro himself.
