This Tuesday meeting should define the inclusion of the project on the agenda and detailing of the text, while a ruling base and centrão negotiate limits
The president of the Chamber of Deputies (Republicans-PB) meets on Tuesday (16) with party leaders to deal with the controversial amnesty project involved in acts of January 8, 2023. The proposal, presented by the PL leader (RJ), provides forgiveness to prisoners and convicted, including potentially the former president (PL). The agenda comes to the plenary amid strong pressure from different sectors: the federal government is opposed to any broad amnesty, while the opposition tries to approve the text urgently.
The Federal Supreme Court () also closely follows the negotiation, signaling that only a “light” version of the amnesty, with feather reduction for secondary participants, could be considered. , Dean of the Court, spoke on Monday (16), calling the project “Unconstitutional” indicating its overthrow in the Supreme if it is approved in the. “I am convinced that she is illegitimate and unconstitutional,” said Gilmar.
According to the minister, the Supreme has “a dVery fruitful, respectful and effective Illogo ”with Hugo Motta and the president of the Senate. In recent days, Motta has articulated with STF ministers, including Alexandre de Moraes, and talked to the president (PT) during a lunch on Monday. The petista reinforced the government’s position against general forgiveness. The assessment is that, without consensus, the vote on urgency can be postponed.
Opposition deputies estimate having more than 300 votes in favor of a restricted amnesty, which would contemplate only the defendants of the secondary core of the. Bolsonaro’s inclusion in the text, however, would complicate approval and may reduce the necessary adhesion of 257 deputies to approve the urgency. There is a threat of new obstruction in the House if the agenda does not advance.
The centrão negotiates a middle ground: allowing feather reduction for less influential convicts while maintaining the maximum sanction for movement leaders. On the other hand, the armor PEC, which establishes limits to the STF’s performance on parliamentarians, could advance in the chamber without significant resistance.
Meanwhile, the governor of Sao Paulo, (Republicans-SP), the main articulator of the amnesty with the pockets, canceled travel to Brasilia scheduled for this Monday, asking to visit Bolsonaro today. The decision surprised opposition parliamentarians, who sought to accelerate the vote immediately after the former president’s conviction in the Supreme Court. Moraes authorized Tarcisio’s visit to the political godfather, but only on the 29th.
The result of the leaders meeting this Tuesday will be decisive to define whether the amnesty will enter the voting agenda of the week and what will be the scope of the project, between wide, restricted forgiveness or just reduction of penalties.
