The government () must review nominations for federal deputies and senators who vote in favor of those convicted of the coup attacks and former president (), according to five people who are aware of conversations. The warning was passed by members of the Planalto Palace to ministers and party leaders.
Government orientation is opposed to the bill, and the main task is to prevent the issue from being taken to the House Plenary. It is up to the president of the house, (Republicans-PB), to guide the project.
If this happens, the Planalto will use all the instruments it has available, according to an interlocutor of the President of the Republic. This is to review the nominations to the positions in the federal machine and also the payment of parliamentary amendments to the budget.
In the words of another ally of Lula, the vote of amnesty will be a watershed, defining who is really the government and who is not. He says he must know this even to think about the 2026 electoral scenario and understand which parties or wings of these acronyms will walk with Lula next year.
The negotiations around the amnesty proposal advanced last week in response to NO (Supreme Court) and involved parties of the center and the governor of, (). The former president was convicted of the first class of the court to 27 years and 3 months in prison for.
Motta, who until then was contrary to the vote on the Amnesty project, has said in recent days that, given the leading pressure from leaders.
This is not the first warning that the government makes about reviewing positions facing votes considered important in Congress and in an attempt to organize its support base, which is marked by instability.
In April, members of the Executive charged parliamentarians from the allied base that signed the request to – of this, the request was supported by deputies of acronyms that make up the government, such as PSD, União Brasil, PP, Republicans and MDB.
In February 2024, members of the executive told parliamentarians in the House that those who against Lula because he compared deaths in the Gaza Strip to the Holocaust would suffer consequences.
The alert now happens in another context: the 2026 election is closer, parties like PP and União Brasil already threaten a landing and the amnesty has the potential to generate a crisis between powers, and causes implications on the international scenario.
there is an assessment between government members and even from the President of the Republic that the amnesty’s approval would represent a victory of the United States government, at a time when Donald Trump launches an offensive against Brazil and imposes a 50% surcharge on Brazilian products.
An ally of Lula in Congress says that the approval of the amnesty would represent a direct interference of Trump in Brazil, and says that the legislature itself would be weakened in this process.
In addition, these negotiations around the bill advanced at the same time as União Brasil and PP announced one and support for amnesty, including the former president. The possibility of the government reviewing nominations was publicly affirmed by the Minister (Secretariat of Institutional Relations) in publication on social networks.
She said, in reaction to the decision of the parties, that no one is required to stay, but who who remains in petista management “should be committed to President Lula and the main guidelines that this government defends.”
“This is true for those who have mandate and for those who have no mandate, including those who indicate people for government positions, whether in direct, indirect or regional administration,” he said.
The Gleisi folder is already preparing a report with all nominations to federal positions – deed in companies, municipalities and the structure of the terrace to regional positions. União Brasil and speak of landing, but maintain ministries, state and positions in states that do not intend to deliver at this time.
This week, Gleisi summoned the center’s parties ministers to avoid the advance of the Bill in Congress. According to reports, she was terrace and stated that they must act with party leaders to prevent the project from being based.
Gleisi also charged that these ministers help unlock votes considered priority for the Plateau, especially those that make up an electoral package, such as the bill that gives exemption from IR (Income Tax) to.
In addition, it is defined that if the Planalto deems necessary, ministers who have mandates (ie, they are deputies and licensed senators) must resume their positions to vote against the proposal.
