Paulinho da Força, chosen by Hugo Motta to report the text, proposes to reduce penalties of convicts, but a party of Jair Bolsonaro insists on total forgiveness and prepares for confrontation in plenary
He decided to maintain a position contrary to any proposal that replaces the broad amnesty to the convicts with the acts of a feather reduction project. The president of the acronym, said that the idea of a “PL of dosimetry”, suggested by the rapporteur (Solidarity-SP), “does not matter” to the party. “These people who are arrested have to go in peace. Who broke has to pay, but what Paulinho proposes does not solve. We will have to decide in the vote,” he said.
The change of focus of the bill occurred after Paulinho meetings with the former president, the deputy (PSDB-MG), and the mayor (Republicans-PB), as well as consultation with ministers of the Supreme Court (STF). The idea is to build a text that reduces penalties rather than forgiving those involved in full.
The proposal, however, was seen by allies of how an “burial” of amnesty. De Miami, the deputy (PL-SP) reacted hardly: “There is no possibility of accepting the mere dosimetry of the penalties. The broad, general and unrestricted amnesty is not under negotiation.” The PL leader in the House, also criticized the change, claiming that reducing penalties is the sole jurisdiction of the judiciary. “The parliament is to grant amnesty, never readjust sentence,” he said.
Merit of the Amnesty Bill
I want to make it clear: Feather’s dosimetry is the exclusive prerogative of the judiciary.
In any article of the Constitution, there is no authorization for the National Congress to reduce penalties or apply dosimetry.Parliament is only fits what is…

Jurists and politicians, such as Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG), remember that the Supreme Court has already considered the amnesty unconstitutional in crimes against the Democratic Rule of Law. For him, the alternative of dosimetry could make room for a political solution. Paulinho da Força insists that his report will seek to “pacify the country” and that he will present nothing that confronts the Supreme. Still, PL parliamentarians say they will “play hard” to keep the amnesty as a priority.
With the urgency already approved in the House, the text can go straight to the plenary. But the clash between Bolsonaro allies and the advocates of dosimetry indicates that the vote promises to be one of the most tense tests in Congress this year.
