Alternative text to broad amnesty came to be seen by the ruling base as ‘damage reduction’; Mayor must guide urgency only with the merits of the defined proposal
Auxiliaries of the president began to sew with the mayor (Republicans-PB), and center leaders, the advance of an alternative text to amnesty, with reduction of penalties to arrested and convicted of attempted coup. For leaders of the ruling base, the reduction of punishments would already be a way to defeat the amnesty and “turn the page” of the subject.
“Dos ills the minor” and “damage reduction” has been expressions used by governors favorable to the agreement with Hugo Motta and center parties. Lula’s allies also point out that it is better to attract center deputies to a partnership than to be free to be attracted to the opposition.
Leaders of the House, who met on Wednesday with Lula, said the president said it was not contrary to the reduction of penalties and that he knows that it is difficult to be arrested, since he himself has already been convicted. This afternoon, Hugo Motta gathers with PL leaders in an attempt to convince them to accept a proposal to reduce penalties. Until Tuesday, leader Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ) remained irreducible and says he accepts only a wide and general amnesty that included forgiveness to Jair Bolsonaro.
Allies of the mayor state that he does not want to guide the urgency to the matter without the alternative text being defined. Therefore, it tries to build matter before putting the acceleration mechanism of the text on the agenda. The urgency of a bill aims to accelerate its proceedings for up to 45 days, at most.
