. On Friday (12), it is expected to read the sentence. The goal is to resume the movement around the amnesty then, and already vote, the other week, the urgency and a substitute to.
What the House has today is the PL, authored by the then Deputy Vitor Hugo (PL-GO), who forgives crimes committed from November 30, 2022 until the law’s entry into force.
For political scientist Carlos Pereira, full professor at FGV/Ebape (Brazilian School of Public Administration and Companies of the Getulio Vargas Foundation), the problem of this proposal is that it benefits only one side.
“Amnesty can be very lasting when both parties have to gain from it. This proposal does not constitute a real political agreement, as it only benefits one side – those who have paid democracy. This request is missing,” he says.
What is amnesty and what would a wide and unrestricted amnesty mean?
According to political scientist Carlos Pereira, professor at FGV/Ebape, amnesty is essentially a “political agreement between parts in conflict that decide to interrupt mutual violence for a common future.” The goal is to create an environment of cooperation and trust where everyone has something to gain.
He exemplifies with rival families who, after centuries of confrontation, recognize that continuing the dispute is more harmful than beneficial, opting for a forgetfulness pact.
During the democratic transition in Brazil, in the military dictatorship, the amnesty was possible, he says, because there were moderates relevant on both sides arrested on dialogue. Even so, there are those who see as negative what was done.
Pereira sees the movement in the positive dictatorship and states that it served as an example in South Africa, with the release of Nelson Mandela after 27 years in prison. A broad and unrestricted amnesty, as you want, is the total forgiveness of the crimes.

What the deputy proposed, at the time, was a forgiveness from November 30, 2022 until the publication of the law, failing to punish truckers, businessmen, politicians and other protesters.
The project that the opposition wants to approve now is even broader and proposes to forgive everything from March 2019, the date of fake news. “Verbal or written manifestations” would be forgiven on streets, internet, social networks, public agencies and media that deal with:
- Offense or attack on public institutions or their members
