A Liberal Party (PL) wing argues that former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is not included in a possible amnesty to those convicted of the acts of January 8. The movement occurs after the president of the Federal Senate, David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), signal that he will build a text that will not benefit Bolsonaro. The investigation is by Juliana Lopes in CNN Arena.
The position of this PL group is seen as an attempt to unlock the proposal in a sensitive moment, which coincides with the trial of the first core involved in the coup plot. The understanding is that, to be able to alleviate the situation of the convicts ,.
Although Bolsonaro previously signaled that he would not need to be contemplated by Amnesty, his son, the deputy. In a letter to the US government, the amnesty was presented as fundamental to pacifying the country and removing sanctions imposed by the United States.
PL members evaluate that while convincing Bolsonaro may be possible, persuading Eduardo Bolsonaro to retreat from his international articulation would be a greater challenge. Conversations revealed by investigations show discussions between father and son on the subject.
The articulations around the amnesty continue to take place at night meetings among members of the centrão, with the participation of Governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans). The movement is accompanied carefully by the government, while the PL wing maintains the position that the project needs to be approved by the National Congress, even without contemplating Bolsonaro.
