Centrão party parliamentarians have been frustrating the expectation of scholars to thicken amnesty requests to the defendants of January 8 to face tariffs to Brazilian products and the sanction to the minister imposed by.
Even with specific criticism of the government (PT), there is a general feeling in conversations that the Bolsonaro clan came out with the scratched image and further pushed the possibility of approving a forgiveness to the former president ().
Positions, for now, are more disarticulated and individual, as most parliamentarians are in recess, focused on their electoral bases or on vacation travel.
The general assessment in Congress is that Lula has been electorally strengthened from the clash and that the package of measures that will be presented by the petista to Congress to assist in the survival of the affected sectors – as meat, fish and coffee – should mean a new positive agenda for the government.
Congressmen say it will be costly politically to oppose these measures or use them to attack the petista, although part of Centrão members accuse Lula of a lack of dialogue with the president of the United States, and with the US government.
“I don’t know the content of this package, but I don’t think there will be resistance,” says MDB leader in the House, Deputy Isnaldo Bulhões (AL), who had lunch with Lula and MDB ministers on Tuesday (29). “There is the analysis that the impacts will be sectorized, and a government feeling that the damage will be smaller than they could be.”
The president of the Parliamentary Front for Sustainable Mining, Deputy Zé Silva (Solidarity-MG), met with businessmen and investors on Wednesday (30) and says that there is support to government initiatives. “What we need is what the [Geraldo] Alckmin is doing: have serenity. It cannot give up our sovereignty, we are not United States Colony, but at the same time we need to negotiate, negotiate and negotiate, “he says.
Both the president of, (-PB) and (-ap), publicly aligned with the Lula administration and the Minister of (Supreme Federal Court) Alexandre de Moraes.
In notes released on Wednesday ,, keyword of the government’s and PT discourse against Trump measures.
even if without quoting the minister. “As a sovereign country we cannot support any type of sanction by foreign nations directed to members of any power made up of the Republic,” he said.
In the same line, Alcolumbre stated that the judiciary is “an essential element for the preservation of national sovereignty, which is non -negotiable.” “The does not admit interference in the performance of our powers.”
Centrão parliamentarians say that sanctions against Moraes and the tariff actually served to burn Bolsonaro with the part of their voters.
A deputy from União Brasil says he heard from a businessman who even sponsored pro-Bolsonaro demonstrations harsh complaints to the posture of the former president and his son, the deputy (PL-SP).
Another name of the centrão, this one from Santa Catarina, said that part of the population of his state, which has a strong conservative tradition, is dissatisfied with the posture. He says that he received in several groups a meme that opposes current speech from the pockets, in favor of the fees to amnesty Bolsonaro, with the time of Covid, in which the former president said that the economy could not stop, even with the deaths caused by the disease.
Even among pockets, there is a perception that the approval of amnesty became even more costly, with the speech of not accepting external interference in a trial in the country.
For the PL leader, Deputy Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), amnesty could gain strength if the proposal of constitutional amendment of the special forum was first approved, which would “deliver the deputies of the influence of the STF”. In his assessment, this would give freedom to face Moraes.
A lunch on Tuesday, exposed the difficulty of PL parliamentarians find a unique strategy. Part defended to maintain pressure in the House, part suggested obstructing work in the Senate, as the indication for regulatory agencies, and part proposed a retreat in the amnesty text, to soften it.
On the PT bench, the reading is that the moment is positive, with bolsonarism cornered and the center aligned with the government. One deputy states that the opposition, by supporting Trump’s sanctions, eventually helped Lula recover popularity. With A, reading is that the radical right lives an astral hell.
Against the recovery of Lula’s assessment, part of the centrão leaders seeks to send a speech that the Brazilian government was unfailing to deal with Trump.
The governor’s co -religionist (Republicans), who was criticized by entrepreneurs for the initial stance on the tariff, the president of Republicans, Deputy Marcos Pereira (SP), recorded video for the social networks in which he accuses the Brazilian government of following “as if nothing so serious were happening”.
Other countries, Pereira said, were able to reduce tariffs with Americans, such as Japan, after negotiating with the United States. “And of course, a president, a head of state on duty, who commands diplomacy as the moment requires, taking the reins of the situation,” he says.
The president of, (PI), was in the same line and charged “pragmatism”. It’s your duty [Lula] At least call the White House before and, even without believing, trying to fulfill the role of representative of Brazil. Your omission in this episode will never be understood as sovereignty. But as ideology and political game, “he criticized.
