Rapporteur of the Amnesty Bill, the deputy (Solidarity-SP) told allies that he intends to quickly deliver an opinion and bring the text to the vote next week.
The goal, according to the parliamentarian, is to “turn the page” as soon as possible, but the proposal to reduce penalties for those convicted of attempted right and left coup that can disturb this schedule.
Right deputies have already warned that they disagree with any project that does not fully forgive those convicted of the scammers of 8 January and the former president ()-algo that the rapporteur classified as “impossible” in interviews on Thursday (18) after being officialized in the role.
The PL states that it will propose in plenary an amendment so that the broad and unrestricted amnesty is decided in the vote. They pour into the emergency regime, arguing that this would be the will of the majority of the House.
Centrão will charge the support of the leftist parties to block this movement, with the argument that without this alliance for reducing penalties, the pockets will have votes for a broad amnesty.
At least initially, the PT rejects an agreement in these terms, especially if the reduction of penalties benefit Bolsonaro. “The amnesty will be barred in, vetoed by the president and declared unconstitutional by the Supreme. Do not come to put a knife around the neck,” says the PT leader in the House, Lindbergh Farias (RJ).
Left parliamentarians also evaluate that the 311 votes in favor of the urgent request were inflated by deputies who are favorable to reduce penalties but not the broad amnesty. These could add themselves to the 163 who voted against the request to defeat the amendment of the pockets.
Despite the position of the PT bench, which unanimously decided to be against any benefit to Bolsonaro, President Lula indicated on the same day, at lunch with allies, who sentenced to those convicted of scammer acts.
The rapporteur was only made official on Thursday, but already has a previously scratched opinion, which circulated among the deputies this week and was discussed in recent months by the mayor, (-PB) with ministers of the (Federal Supreme Court).
Paulinho stated in interviews on Thursday that he will meet with governors and party benches until next week to try to sew a text, but has already positioned himself against forgiveness for the crimes. “[Anistia] Broad, general and unrestricted is impossible. I think this has already been overcome yesterday [quarta] When Hugo had a meeting of more than three hours with the PL staff, “he told the press.
Other parliamentarians, however, believe the calendar will be longer and will still take 15 days to present a final opinion, while the leaders of the parties tell vote.
The proposal is to reduce the penalty of the crime of violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, from 4 to 8 years to between 2 and 6 years. The crime of coup d’état, today with arrest between 4 and 12 years, would go to 2 to 8 years. In addition, the punishments for these two crimes would no longer add up – the least serious would be excluded.
The draft also determines that those accused of acting in the context of a multitude will only be punished if there is demonstration that they worked combined with the articulator of the coup. This would help to deliver part of the convicts by January 8 that they have no proof of depredation or more active acting in the organization of acts.
If Centrão’s project is approved, Bolsonaro’s prison time could decrease in 6 years and 8 months, as well as allowing it to ask for a reconsideration in the size of the penalty, as it was not sentenced to maximum punishment for these crimes. He was convicted of the first class of the Supreme Court to 27 years and 3 months in prison for five crimes, including leading the attempted coup d’état.
There was also a hit with a wing of the STF ministers for Bolsonaro to serve the prison sentence on home, due to his state of health and age. He is currently arrested at home for breach of precautionary measures, but the prison regime will be decided after the end of all resources to the Supreme.
The Chamber bill is milder than that prepared by the Senate President, (-AP), along with former president of House Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG) and the STF. This version diminished the penalty for those who were used as a “mass of maneuver” of the blows, but raised up to one third the punishment for the mentors, organizers and funders of future coup attempts.
Nevertheless, the pockets insist on approving a broad and unrestricted amnesty that removes Bolsonaro from prison and forgives other allies, such as the military involved in the coup plot and federal deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ).
The party has proposed a text that includes authorization so that the former president can compete in the elections, which is rejected by the centrão. The group works to reduce penalties for Bolsonaro to feel comfortable to support the presidential candidacy of the governor of São Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans) – which promises, as the first act if elected, sign a pardon for his political godfather.
“If the rapporteur thinks he will present a text according to the wish of the Supreme Court, we will fight to put a prominence in this text that really meets the needs of those who are arrested and unjustly condemned. And then we will see how it will behave,” said Deputy Zé Trovão (PL-SC).
