Allies of (PL) see the minister thicken the scholarship wing in the (Supreme Court) and expect him a favorable vote to ensure the constitutionality of a possible amnesty approved in Congress to the former president and others convicted in the coup plot.
Fux’s long vote, in favor of Bolsonaro’s acquittal, yielded thousands of cuts to social networks and arguments to both legal and politicians to criticize the trial, in which the former president was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison.
The amnesty proposal would have to go a long way until the convicts benefit. In addition to being approved in the House and Senate, the text would have to be sanctioned by the President – if Lula (PT) or other eventual agent from next year. An eventual presidential veto could still be overthrown with the support of the absolute majority of the two Congress houses.
For any of these ways, the proposal would still be sieve by the Supreme Ministers, since their constitutionality will be questioned by governors.
With this scenario in view, pockets project a favorable vote of Fux, alongside André Mendonça and Kássio Nunes Marques. Allies of the former president already see room for Luis Roberto Barroso to position themselves in favor of the thesis that the approval of an amnesty is a political decision, which is only for Congress. Therefore, two more votes would be lacking to ensure the maintenance of forgiveness.
In the case of Fux, an eventual vote in favor of amnesty would be another position with the minister’s recent past.
In the case of prisoners in the scammer attacks of January 8, he accompanied votes of a different attitude of the acquittal proposed to Bolsonaro and five other defendants of the coup plot. In his vote, he said he had the opportunity to get to know the evidence better and change his understanding.
In addition, in 2023, he gave one of the eight votes of the court to. At the time, he said: “I understand that a crime against the democratic rule of law is a political and impassive crime of amnesty, since the Democratic Rule of Law is a stone clause.”
Optimists with the magistrate’s 13-hour vote, parliamentarians will use his arguments to seek support for the Amnesty Bill-which today of the Chamber Presidents, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), and Senate, David Alcolumbre (Union-AP)-with the argument that even in court there is consensus around the thesis of Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur of the case.
There is also the intention of bringing what was said by the magistrate to international instances, as allies of the former president are unable to reverse the decision through the so-called declaration embargoes.
A group at the House Foreign Commission of the House, controlled by Bolsonarists, wants to make a delegation to visit European and the United States, as well as the OAS (Organization of American States), to renew the complaints, according to opposition leader, Zucco (PL-RS).
Allies of the former president made thousands of cuts in the long-vote of the former minister to seek repercussions on social networks and sought to differentiate him from other magistrates of the first class.
“[Fux foi] The first placed for judge, he is the author of books, a doctor of law. He made a qualified analysis, based on jurisprudence, renowned jurists, legal pieces, individualized not only the penalties, but the people, “praised Zucco.
Fux’s vote, in the evaluation of people close to the former president, will also be exploited by Bolsonaro’s defense to resort to international instances against the decision of the Supreme’s first class.
On another front, allies also saw new political arguments to seek signatures in the House for the request for the creation of the Lava Toga CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry), under the flag of the investigation of eventual abuse of the judiciary, based on the allegations of a former Moraes advisor. They already say there are 142 of 171 necessary supports.
In the Senate, the proposal to create a CPI with the same purpose as the trial, with the signature of 29 senators, despite the remote chance of operation.
Fux’s vote led PL President Valdemar da Costa Neto to say that the minister would be a good candidate for the Senate by Rio de Janeiro after the STF retirement scheduled for 2027.
Valdemar’s idea annoyed pockets. Three leaders of the group criticized the party’s president, in a reserved manner, especially because of the bet on Fux as a counterpoint in the Supreme.
In the group’s assessment, the PL president argued that the minister’s vote is seen as a political act – an accusation they themselves do to others – and the greatest asset is precisely legal.
