The insistence of the Bolsonaro family in a “wide, general and unrestricted” amnesty in the face of the decision of the US President, to overlax in 50% Brazilian products, is shaking the support even from nearby allies.
Resather, these interlocutors complain about the positioning, which they evaluate as wrong, but avoid speaking openly by fear retaliation of the most radicalized base.
Trump alignment – – at this moment it comes with a very high cost to the political group. In addition to the theme being negative, many pockets with a mandate in Congress are being pressured by the business community, especially agribusiness.
In addition to the 50%rate, allies comment on the serious consequences that may result from the decision of the US government to open, as revealed by the Sheet.
Trump’s decisions cited a supposed persecution of Bolsonaro.
The disagreements were exhibited in the crack between licensed deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) and the governor of São Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans). Tarcisio last week sought the US embassy to negotiate a solution focused on tariffs in an attempt to meet the pressure of the São Paulo businesswoman. The gesture was seen as disrespect for the former president’s son.
There were allies appeals to end the exhibition of divergence and, finally, both talked. Eduardo announced that they, but continue with divergent postures on the subject.
Behind the scenes, part of the interlocutors in Congress and outside of it says that the criticism of the deputy licensed to the governor were unfair and that he really has to work for his state. There is also a group that maintains the defense to Eduardo and preaches radicalization by arguing that amnesty would be the only possible solution.
The background of the dispute between Tarcisio and Eduardo is the electoral estate of, since the two are the main names cited as eventual successors and have very distinct postures.
The Amnesty Bill in prisoners in the January 8 coup attacks that is in the House and its latest versions save not only those convicted in the episode, but also those who participated in preparatory acts, which would include Bolsonaro.
Moreover, in the view of, this proposal should be even broader and also contemplate those who are treated in pockets as exiles, such as influencer Allan dos Santos and himself. This would be the only possibility, even for his return to Brazil, as he said during the Paulo Figueiredo Show program, on Youtube, this Wednesday (16).
In Brasilia, however, even allies close to the family admit that if before Trump’s surcharge, this possibility was difficult, today is remote. Trump’s measure was wearing pockets in the center, which once had wings favorable to the proposal.
During the program, Eduardo even appealed for a signaling to a “wide, general and unrestricted” amnesty by the presidents of the House, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), and Senate, David Alcolumbre (Brazil-AP Union). With this, he would commit to taking them with former presenter Paulo Figueiredo to the negotiating table with the Americans. “It’s in the hands of you,” he said.
Motta does not like to be pressured or exposed publicly in this way, according to allies. In addition, the presidents of the houses were with the vice president, (PSB), and the minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, (PT), on Wednesday morning. They made the government available and said the reaction should be led by the executive.
If a wing of pockets, of which Eduardo is the main spokesman, says that amnesty is the only possible way out, another classifies the strategy as madness. This wants a diplomatic exit and focused on the commercial.
The licensed deputy said on the program that US officials even suggested political asylum to them and their families, including the former president, but they said they would not accept it.
On another front, the Senate approved on Wednesday an external mission to the reaction to the decision of the US President. The agenda was proposed by the president of the Foreign Relations Commission, Nelsinho Trad (PSD-MS). PT leader Senator Rogério Carvalho (SE) and former Minister of Agriculture of Bolsonaro, Tereza Cristina (MS), PP leader in the Senate, must participate in the entourage.
According to parliamentarians, the group will be ideologically broad, but the idea is to show the American authorities that Eduardo Bolsonaro is just a representative of Congress and that there are divergent voices.
Bolsonaro’s allies appealed to him to ask Trump to retreat from the measure, which he rejected. He says he has no tools for that.
Bolsonaro gave two interviews on Tuesday and, in his lines, gives signs exchanged on the subject, although he does not abandon the understanding that Trump will not give up the non -commercial points of the negotiation – and the amnesty is one of them.
First, he said he would not interfere with the theme. Then he asked for a passport to enter the negotiation.
Bolsonaro also denied participation of his or his son Eduardo in the issue of surcharge and even denied the binding of the theme to amnesty. But rather, on a social network, he wrote: “The solution is in the hands of the Brazilian authorities. In having harmony and independence between the powers, the forgiveness between siblings is born and, with amnesty also peace for the economy.”
