PL President stated that January 8 was ‘widespread swamp’ and ‘these people have to be punished’ but denied attempted rupture; He claims to have 300 amnesty signatures
The president of the PL, spoke on Saturday (7) during the Bolsanist demonstration on September 7 and made ironic statements about the accusations of attempted coup involving the former president. He classified the acts of how “widespread riot”, but rejected that they configured a coup d’état.
“If there was a blow, who was going to be the minister of justice? A? The Clezão would be the leader of the government? That was a widespread ruling and these people have to be punished. But that is not a blow,” he said, in reference to supporters arrested for vandalism in. Valdemar also said that the “true judgment of the coup” will take place in the 2026 elections, citing promises not fulfilled by the Lula administration. “The blow of the promised picanha, the blow of the robbery of the retirees, the scam of $ 90 billion paid in advance of precatory,” he said.
The PL leader took the opportunity to charge the vote on the amnesty project to Bolsonaro and those involved in undemocratic acts. “We already have 300 signatures. Any citizen in a democracy is entitled to a second trial. We will not give up this right. Amnesty now!” He said, being accompanied in choir by the public. In addition, he commented on the public criticism of the Senator (PL-RJ), the only one of the bench that did not speak in favor of the impeachment of the Minister, of the Supreme Court (STF). Screams asking for the departure of the former party player echoed in Paulista. “I see that Romário is prestigious here in São Paulo, but I will take care of it in Brasilia,” he said.
The act, organized by Pastor Silas Malafaia, brought together names such as the governor of Sao Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans), former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro, the governors Romeu Zema (Novo-MG) and Ronaldo Caiado (União-GO), as well as Bolsonarist parliamentarians. Bands asking for amnesty, impeachment of Moraes and freedom for arrested allies marked the demonstration, which is part of a series of protests in capital of the country this September 7.
