Senator Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE) will be the rapporteur of the PEC (proposal for amendment to the Constitution) that restricts police operations and inquiries against congressmen. The appointment is an indication that the proposal will not be approved in, as Vieira has already spoken out against the text.
The shielding PEC, as it became known, was last week. . This request would be deliberated in a secret vote – or that is, without individual political wear for congressmen who are against any investigations.
Moreover, there is no transition period in the proposal. The processes already in progress could be frozen in the event that PEC is approved in the way it is today. The effects could also be extended to state deputies.
The repercussion on social networks was bad. Even before the deputies conclude the bill vote ,.
One of the first to speak out against PEC was the president of the CCJ (Constitution and Justice Commission), (PSD-BA). Vieira, who throughout the week she called the “shameful idea” proposal, was officially appointed by Alencar as a rapporteur on Friday (19).
The MDB bench in the Senate, of which Vieira is part, issued a note that he says he will vote against the proposal. “It is, in practice, the PEC of impunity,” said the party leader in the Senate, Eduardo Braga (AM).
How it showed the Sheetthe president of the Senate, (União Brasil-AP), indicated allies that would not accelerate the proposal. He decided to submit the project to the CCJ after Alencar has already been publicly placed against the text.
Politicians point to a tear caused by the proposal with public opinion and the (Supreme Court) with the election of 2026 increasingly close. The reaction to the proposal on social networks specifically impressed part of the senators.
Deputies who supported the bill were criticized on social networks. The movement was detected by senators and impressed part of the members of Casa Alta.
Some cases were cited to the report: Jilmar Tatto (PT-SP) closed his Instagram profile for comments from followers and began to explain his vote in favor of the project in posts; Pedro Campos (PSB-PE) was the target of critical comments on the same social network; Images of the deputies who approved the bill with critical subtitles circulate on whatsapp at least in the Federal District and Maranhão.
Several senators, as also did Alessandro Vieira, began to criticize the PEC even before it reached the Senate.
(PSD-MA), for example, has already been publicly placed against the project mentioning “respect for public opinion and commitment to morality.” The Government leader in Congress, (PT-AP), called the proposal “a serious setback”.
STF actions and other authorities against deputies and senators are an old reason for complaint from congressmen. The mayor, (-PB), resurrected the armor project. The requirement of prior authorization of the legislature for deputies and senators being investigated has existed, but it was.
Proposals for amendment to the Constitution, such as the Armage PEC, are the most difficult approval projects. They need at least 308 votes in the House and at least 49 in the Senate, with two shift votes in both homes.
Congressmen analyze, however, that the pressure of deputies so that the Senate takes advantage of the text will be great. The hypothesis that the Supreme Court makes more decisions that displease congressmen was also cited to the report as something that would have a chance to change the conjuncture and give PEC strength.
