The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), said that there is still no definition of the possibility of guiding the project that grants amnesty to the convicts of the scammers of January 8, 2023. The statements occurred on Thursday morning, 4, the week he had in the Supreme Court (STF) for attempted coup d’état.
At the end of Wednesday, 3, Motta had a meeting with the governor of São Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans), in Brasilia. Bolsonaro’s ally, Tarcisio has persuaded parliamentarians in favor of amnesty. “We are very quiet about the discussion of this agenda. There is no definition yet,” said Motta, when questioned by journalists about the possibility of vote of amnesty. “We are always listening to the college of leaders in these guidelines,” he added.
The mayor also commented on the meeting he had with Tarcisio. “The governor is a dear friend, it is from our party, we have always dialogued. There is nothing new about it.” Asked if they talked about the amnesty, Motta replied: “The governor has an interest that the amnesty is guided, this is public. And we are listening to everyone. We are listening to leaders who have interest and those who have no interest.”

As showed the Estadão/Broadcast During the week, Motta admitted that he has increased the number of party leaders who are asking for the amnesty. The temperature was measured in a meeting with the leaders last Tuesday, 2.
The opposition presses to Motta at least the urgency next week and perform the vote on the merits on the week 15th. This morning, PL leader in the House, Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), said he had a meeting scheduled with the president of the House to address the issue. The bloc holds that Bolsonaro has been the victim of political persecution.
Governors, however, argue that the project is unconstitutional and that the vote can represent a new conflict between the National Congress and the Supreme Court.
