Contrary to the approval of an amnesty to the former president (), the president of, (-ap), told the Sheet who will present and intend to discuss one.
“I will vote the alternative text. This is what I want to vote in the Senate,” he said on Tuesday (2). “I will make this text and I will present.”
While the (Supreme Court) began what may condemn a former president and military personnel for attempted coup, Bolsonaro’s allies if the approval of an amnesty immediately after the result.
The pressure on the increased on Tuesday in the face of the explicit articulation of the governor of, (), and the adhesion of two of the center’s main parties, the.
With the new effort, the president of the Senate intends to present himself to the party leaders of the house an alternative text to what has been discussed by pockets.
It foresees only a decrease in penalties, but does not forgive any of those convicted of the attacks on January 8, 2023 – the basis in which Bolsonaro himself may be included if declared guilty by the Supreme.
The main idea under discussion is to change the new Democratic Rule Defense Law, approved in 2021, to frame in a new criminal type those who were present in the acts, but had no planning or financing role.
In practice, change could alleviate the penalties of what part of the authorities see how the “mass of maneuver” that vandalized the headquarters of powers – as the hairdresser, which became one of the symbols of pockets for having bite the statue in front of the STF on the day.
Depending on the circumstances of each individual’s involvement, this new crime would replace convictions for attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and attempted coup d’état. Combined, these two crimes lead to feathers of 8 to 20 years in prison.
A second device of the proposal concerns the duplicate of accusations against those involved in the acts. Currently, Criminal Law provides for the material competition, a principle that penalties accumulate when a person commits two or more crimes in different actions.
The new law would maintain the two criminal types, but would create the possibility of conviction only for the abolition of the democratic rule of law, with an aggravating in cases where the outcome of this act is an attempt to coup.
The Senate president even discussed a draft text in April, but the joints cooled at Bolsonaro’s allies’ insistence around amnesty.
Supreme ministers tried to make it clear that they would not resist such an initiative by Congress, but they would not endorse the speech that the court committed excesses in the application of the penalties.
According to them, any change in the legislation would be a recognition of congressmen that the penalties were fixed on high levels and that the Supreme only applied the laws previously elaborated by Congress itself.
