From the early stages of the discussion of amnesty to NA, experts pointed out that different points of the projects under analysis that could, in theory, benefit ().
The current discourse between Bolsonarist politicians and the former president himself was another: there would be no priority goal of including him in the proposal, but the prisoners of 8/1, under the defense of what they called.
In front of Bolsonaro in the (Supreme Court), what was evasive became open flag in the allied speech, for whom the text necessarily has to benefit the former president.
An example of this is in the speech of the PL leader in the House, Sostenes Cavalcante, who, on the last day 4, he said.
In April, the leader answered the question in a very different tone. At the time, asked if the project would include Bolsonaro, he responded to Sheet: “Of course not. He is not final, he has no condemnation. How are we going to amnesty someone who is not condemned yet?”
Bolsonaro was sentenced last Thursday (11) and the case is expected to be final in the coming months. The proposal articulated by Sostenes now intends to overthrow even penalties of ineligibility declared by the Electoral Justice.
In the first semester, when the signatures to support the urgent request were collected, the speech was that the breadth of the proposal would still be discussed. There were resistances from the dome of the house to guide the urgency, and a new version, but still with
Throughout this period, the protagonist nos, sentenced to 14 years in prison by the Supreme and who was known to have stroke the statue “The Justice” with lipstick.
Referring to her, Bolsonaro called his supporters to act, stating that the measure was “the remedy for more huge injustice” and, without making any mention of himself, which was the “amnesty of the hostages of January 8”.
At another point, during a visit to February, he evasively answered the matter, saying and that he was not even in Brazil on January 8.
In June last year, the newly designed rapporteur of the proposal at the CCJ (Constitution and Justice Commission), Rodrigo Valadares (União Brasil-SE), even stated that Bolsonaro, adding that the proposal would only deal with prisoners and those who responded on 8/1. The deputy also said that when the time came, he expected to work so that Bolsonaro would become eligible in 2026, but that the amnesty project had “nothing to do with it.”
On the 5th, the senator (PL-RJ) wrote that “parties like PP, União Brasil, Republicans and we can already support amnesty to the persecuted of January 8, including Jair Messias Bolsonaro.”
In the assessment of federal deputy Kim Kataguiri (União Brasil-SP), most of the people who signed the urgency of the amnesty project in the first half did not consider that she would cover Bolsonaro and that this was the official discourse of those who articulated the proposal.
He sees, in the sanctions imposed by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, a possible explanation for the change of posture. “It became clearer that the ultimate goal has always been Bolsonaro, but I think they felt they had no political strength to make this defense,” Kataguiri tells Sheetstating that he will not vote in favor of amnesty if she includes the former president and “the hard core of the attempted coup.”
The federal deputy Adriana Ventura (Novo-SP), who acted as party leader at home until April this year, sees the change as an impact of context, in the face of the feeling that there would be an ongoing persecution and that parliamentarians would be seeing things cross.
She also says that if before it was said that the focus of amnesty would be the prisoners of 8/1, without involving Bolsonaro, now the understanding has changed and this is treated as something that can happen.
Fabio Wajngarten, who was secretary of communication in the Bolsonaro government and is one of his main allies, says that, in his view, the change in speech is due to a maturation of the debate and that “amnesty is a brake of storage, even necessary for the court.”
He also states that “there is no reason for the president to be ineligible” and that the proposal must be broad. “Amnesty to embrace everything and everyone and unrestrictedly, unlimited and unconditional, even for those who committed abuse of authority.”
The approval of text that includes the reversal of electoral conviction, however, is pointed out as unlikely, especially since there would be – which would have in the governor of São Paulo (Republicans), his favorite to 2026.
In a post on the last day 5, the federal deputy wrote that “they want to take” his father from the amnesty to blackmail the former president about the 2026 elections and that “any amnesty that is not broad and unrestricted” would not be accepted.
In August, a Federal Police report revealed that the month before, Eduardo had sent private message to his father stating, the last help coming would be a post made by Trump on that date, that he would no longer be supported by the US, and “would be equally convicted of late August.”
They reject alternative proposal, which reduces the penalties of those convicted by January 8, but without the inclusion of upstairs.
